Nagpunta ako recently sa Rex bookstore sa Recto. Apparently ang mga empleyado nila ngayon ay walang idea na gumagawa sila ng komiks noon. Gulat na gulat pang komiks ang hinahanap ko.

Puro REX Komiks! Wala na yatang naitagong komiks o komiks artworks ang company. Last na nakita ko ay yung compiled mga Zuma at Darna Komiks na di ko na nakita mula nang inalis nila ang art foundation nila.

I came across info that Joey worked on Vampirella, but it turns out it might have been unpublished.

Gerry, JM,
There’s a bit of Nino in his fantasy illustrations, and his cartoony exaggerations are excellent. He draws better women than Nino, though, a sort of Achilles Heel by many artists. Wasn’t Nino influenced by Emil Rodriguez too? I don’t seem to have seen his work in American comics. He could have made it big here. It seems to me his style would fit perfectly into many of the Marvel/DC Superheroes.

Gerry:

Joey Celerio’s early works seems to have been inspired by Emil Rodriguez’ drawings.

I have some old komiks showing this (including the dots and dashes that Emil was so known to use in his backgrounds), and even if he had developed his own unique style, the expression and flowing drapery remained similar to Rodriguez and it made Joey’s work more dynamic.
