    Gerry,

    You deserve a GRAND SLAM for your pioneering efforts in advancing the interests of Comics buffs like me.

    Rod,

    Could you give us a blow-by blow account on what happened in San Diego ? did you meet Director Cameron ? how about Director Jackson ?

    Auggie,
    Just exactly what I wrote in my blog. Biglaan lang ang punta namin. We were more excited about taking the train trip to San Diego which we’d never done before. We took the morning train and went home by train that same night. To be able to see those directors you really have to plan out your stay, find out schedules, probably stay the course of the ComicCon which is 4 days. Taking the train was more relaxing than driving, of course, when we got there no worries about parking either. The convention was 3 trolley stops away from the train station. To stay even one night in San Diego would have been expensive, hotels were all booked, and even if you’re lucky to find a room I heard they were charging over $150 a night or more. I actually wanted to see Jennifer Connelly, hahaha, alam mo naman ako, I’d rather see beautiful women than old directors, but didn’t know exactly where she was. I heard Johnny Depp and Elizabeth Barkley were there, I did see Mark Hamill, and hey, I met one of your favorite illustrator, Russ Heath.

    Wow! Congrats Sir Gerry! In every way you truly deserve to win… isa po kayo sa mga pioneer para sa akin upang muling makilala ng masa ang komiks… ^_^
    Hope you win! But really you are a winner in our hearts… (Ok, tama na… masyado na kong nagiging chessy…)

    Rod,

    Wow ! si Russ Heath na meet mo ? akala ko patay na ito ? siguro ang tanda na ano ? nakausap mo ba ? sino ang mas gurang tingnan at si Tony Zuniga ?

    Peerless ito si Heath sa Combat, Westerns, Adventures, Noire, kahit ano yatang topic kayang idrowing nito, at napakapulido pa. Yung LONESOME DOVE, sana gawing Graphic Novel at siya ang mag-drowing.

    Auggie,
    Eto ang litrato niya: http://picasaweb.google.com/rodolfo.samonte/ThePhotographyOfRodolfoSamonte02#5363034311622203762
    He actually looks much younger than Tony Zuniga, well that’s because Zuniga is so thin now after a bout with pneumonia. Very nice guy si Heath, we talked a bit about his work, pero wala man lang tao sa table niya, kaya I could not get anybody to take a picture with him. This guy’s a legend, he was drawing way back for EC Comics wasn’t he?

    I really love Russ Heath’s work on all those old war comics from DC.

  12. Gerry Alanguilan on July 27th, 2009 6:39 pm

    Rod,

    You are right, mas young looking nga ki Zuniga. Mga SGT. ROCK ,yung mga display niya ah. Natatandaan mo pa ba ang SEA DEVILS noon sa DC, late 50s-early60s, siya ang bumira noon. Saka yung unang SGT.ROCK, bago nag-takeover si Joe Kubert. Lumipat siya sa G.I.COMBAT, DC din and started the series on the HAUNTED TANK. Gumawa din siya noon sa DELL,TALES FROM THE WELLS FARGO, Western, Ganda ! Marami din siyang ginawa sa WARREN.

    Auggie, Gerry,
    Isa siya sa mga nasa listahan ng Special Guest, may dalawang Pinoy din na Special Guest, bilib naman ako sa dalawang ito, nahanay sa mga beterano, si Leinil Yu at Francis Manapul. Isa pang Special Guest din ay si Aragones, hinanap ko pero hindi ko makita. Oo nga nag-Warren din si Heath. Walang ka-plano-plano kasi yung biyahe namin, ni isang comics walang akong dala, napapirmahan sana yung mga comics ko ni Russ Heath.
