Darna is spreading her wings once again—this time landing at SuperManila Comic Con 2025 for a two-day celebration of the Filipina superhero’s 75th year.
On September 6 and 7, fans can head to The Space, One Ayala in Makati City for “From Panels to Legacy: Lipad Darna,” an exhibit that traces the journey of Mars Ravelo’s iconic creation from inked panels to pop culture powerhouse.
The exhibit isn’t just a walk down memory lane—it’s a full-on celebration of Darna’s impact. Expect rare memorabilia, a tribute to her creators, and even a photo wall that lets fans strike their own heroic poses.
Adding extra sparkle, the actual costumes worn by Jane de Leon (Darna) and Janella Salvador (Valentina) in the recent ABS-CBN series will be on display, giving fans a closer look at the modern reimagining of these classic characters.
And because no fandom celebration is complete without merch, limited Darna 75th commemorative shirts in navy, royal blue, gray, and fern green will be showcased at the event, with pre-orders available through ShirtsandPrintsPH.
The Lipad Darna exhibit has already traveled to Laguna’s Casa San Pablo and the Philippine International Comics Convention at SM Megamall, but its Comic Con stop promises a bigger stage and wider reach for fans eager to honor the heroine who has come to symbolize strength, bravery, and bayanihan for generations.
From her first appearance in Pilipino Komiks back in 1950 to her most recent small-screen flight in 2022’s “Mars Ravelo: Darna,” the superheroine has remained a cultural touchstone.
At 75, Darna continues to remind Filipinos that courage can take flight in many forms, and this weekend in Makati, she’s inviting everyone to soar with her.
