Comics Articles at the Sunday Inquirer Magazine

Filed Under General | 6 Comments

There was a bunch of comics articles at yesterday’s Sunday Inquirer Magazine, which came with the Philippine Sunday Inquirer, dated May 17, 2009. If I may say so, the comics articles were so numerous I’m surprised it wasn’t the featured cover. But that aside, This is a huge deal for all of us in in the industry and I wish to give profuse thanks to the Philippine Daily Inquirer, and Ruel S. De Vera for the massive boost to Philippine comics creators.

If you missed it, don’t worry, you can read all the articles from the Inquirer’s website:

The Balut in a Superhero’s Underpants
by Budjette Tan

THE EASTER egg isn’t what it used to be. Now, it refers to the secret scenes and paths hidden in DVDs and video games, the in-jokes left by the creators of movies and TV shows for their fans to discover.

PHILIPPINE comics in the past decade has this punk vibe to it: you’ll find creators peddling their wares in venues like the Komikon at UP or making appearances in independently-owned comics’ shops.

    wow i just saw sundays paper just this morning and what a great read, information would be helpful to educate the general public that we Filipino’s are taking over the comic book world. ^_^ im going to buy another copy of the sunday paper. it now inspires me more to pursue my longtime dream to become one of you guys… a comic book artist. hopefully this would start a regular article on the major broadsheets regarding local comic book creators.

    This is Karl and I have a comic artist friend who has not left the country to pursue his dreams of proliferating the art of comic strip illustration. It is great to know that one of our dailies is giving enough space for comic strips. I just hope my friend gets a slot in that newspaper soon.

    Will Doctor Rizal be Like Ministry of Space?

    (storywise that is, not in the delay of publication hehe)

    Hey Rox! I’m really not sure. I haven’t read Ministry of Space. Rizal won’t go to space though, well, at least not yet. :)
