Oscar… the Coching and Botong Life and Art books are newly released and may take a while to appear at bookstores. El Indio took around a month to a month and a half from the time of launching before it appeared at bookstores. I’m sure that towards the end of January or early February they will be widely available.

Dear Mr. Alanguilan:

I know this too late, but hopely not that late to query about some details. I was at National Bookstore and Powerbooks branches hording some books to read for this year, 2010. Unfortunately I cannot find “The Life and Works of Francisco coching” and “The Life and Works of Botong Francisco” and “Telling Modern…”
Pleas kindly tell me where can I find this books.

I have already finished reading The First One Hundred Years of Philippine Komiks by John A. Lent, published by Yonzon Associates on the onset it was launched. Am not satisfied. (May kulang) It was condensed and by passing of the Komiks History. (tell you more about it one day).

I will be grateful regarding the answer to my query good sir. Thank you.

Congratulations to Vibal for these two wonderful books. This is really the definitive book about FV Coching and Botong Francisco.

You should buy the box set guys, it is really a collector’s delight!

Finally books like these are coming out! And they’re in hard bound format! Brilliant! I salute the publishers of these books.

I wish the rest of the comics artists legends living or dead will have books of their own too. :) Let’s not include the “national artist” guy..what’s his name? :P

Speaking of the dev…what happened to his “alay ko sa istrit tsildren” he promised? ;)
