Bong Dazo Signing at Comic Odyssey

Filed Under Comics Artists, Filipino Artists | 5 Comments

You’ve seen this artist and his work on titles like Deadpool, Thunderbolts, Star Wars and now Moon Knight and wondered if he was Filipino. The answer is yes, Bong Dazo is a Filipino based in Meycauayan, Bulacan.

His new title, Shadowland: Moon Knight #1 will be launched, and Bong himself will be on hand to do signings, at Comic Odyssey at Robinson’s Galleria on September 4, 2010 from 1-3 PM. And as Comic Odyssey signings usually go, other artists will be there to hang.

I wish I could be there as well, but it’s my mom’s 75th birthday and that’s where I’ll be.

**************

On the work front, I’ve just finished inking issue #1 of Superior, and I have to say, page 24 practically blew me away. To be honest, I don’t hand out compliments easily so when I do, you know that I mean it. But man, seeing that page impressed the hell out of me, and I told Leinil so. I think it’s one of the best images he has illustrated so far. I can’t post it, but let me just say that it’s different from the kind of thing he’s done. To me it indicates a new level of maturity in his work, and it’s such a pleasure to have been able to ink it. I’m so inspired by it that I’m practically compelled to color it myself, just for fun, blow it up and post it up on my wall.

    “I think it’s one of the best images he has illustrated so far.”

    Considering all those great scenes he drew in SUPERMAN:BIRTHRIGHT, I’m now dying to see what this page is all about!

    Agreed, Sir Budjette! :)

    Exactly what I was thinking, Budj!

    The first image that came to my mind when sir Gerry said that was that spread in Birthright where Supes carried Olsen and the helicopter Lois was in, and I’m like, “Ano kayang mas aastig pa dun?” Can’t wait for Superior!:)

    If someone is named “Bong” then there’s a good chance he or she is Filipino. I haven’t heard of any other nationality who’s used Bong as a name. :)

    He’s also the former Atlas artist known as Angelo Ty Dazo, right?

    Wish I could be there!
