About Difference Engine 

Difference Engine is an award-winning independent comics publisher based in Singapore. Powered by stories from Southeast Asia and beyond, we are inspired by diverse, thought-provoking stories told through captivating illustrations by creators both new and experienced.

Like how the invention of the difference engine impacted the world, our goal is to create comics that nudge readers to look at the world differently. As a team of creators ourselves, we see each comic as a collaboration, a conversation, and an opportunity to experiment beyond the printed form to push the boundaries of what comics can be.

In addition to our main publishing line, Difference Engine also publishes DE Shorts, an imprint of short comics that explores a wide range of social issues through lived experience.

Difference Engine is a Potato Productions company co-founded by Felicia Low-Jimenez and Lee Han Shih.

About DE Shorts

DE Shorts is a Difference Engine imprint publishing short comics around a wide range of social issues. Created in the midst of difficult conversations and shared conundrums, these stories centre the lived experiences around us that are not often talked about.

We see DE Shorts as an accessible way to start conversations about these broad and complex topics, a chance for candid discussion, and as catalysts for the change we hope to see in the world.
