JAKARTA, Indonesia, Oct. 11, 2018 — (PRNewswire) — A digital comic platform from Indonesia, CIAYO Comics, shows their contribution to Asian Para Games 2018 with its special Asian Para Games comic starring Jendi Pangabean, one of Indonesia's excelling para-athletes. The comic titled "Jendi" was released on 30 August 2018 successfully gained positive responses from INAPGOC (Indonesia Asian Para Games 2018 Organizing Committee) and its readers. The Asian Para Games 2018 itself is currently held from  6 to 13 October 2018 in Jakarta.

CIAYO Comics deems Jendi's story as an athlete with a disability as a fascinating one that inspires people. Jendi lost his left leg in a motorcycle accident at the age of twelve. His physical disability didn't stop him to win five gold medals in ASEAN Para Games 2017 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. His uplifting story is adapted into a comic written by Fahmi Hamka and Tony Hanggoro from CIAYO Comics. The comic tells the story of Jendi struggling with his loss with a dash of light humor to enlighten the mood. In the comic, Jendi has a nickname "The Eel", referring to the fish's ability to survive in the worst living environment. The comic is illustrated by DS Studio, a national award-winning studio that has gained many achievements in the comic industry, including first prize in Grandprix Winner Zenon Silent Manga International Competition.

With this biographical comic series, Jendi hopes that his story can be an inspiration to many people. "In life, everything must go through a process. Everyone has their own way of life. Hopefully this comic can bring positivity for people [to get through that process in their life]," he said.
