Supot Anawatkochakorn has a long established relation with NED Comics' magazine ''Boom'' where he published his first comic series named ''Search''. If the first series remains unfinished, its second part named ''Search 2'' was fully completed. Supot A faded from the comics field during a short period of time before launching his most famous series ''Apaimanee Saga'' in the magazine ''Boom'' under the license of Nation Edutainment Co.Ltd.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ned-comics.com/|title=NED|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}}</ref> in Thailand. Its plot was adapted from the Thai novel ''[[Phra Aphai Mani]]'' by poet [[Sunthorn Phu]]. The story  takes liberties from the original novel, being adapted in the style of a fantasy adventure comic series and introducing original characters such as demons and monsters.
