Last July 10, 2010, I was invited to attend the freshmen initiation at the St. Paul University in Manila. The theme of their initiation was “Pinoy Komiks”, and I had been invited to give a talk on the history and the state of the Philippine comics industry. I did not hesitate to agree because more [...]

New Wasted Story

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 9 Comments

When the Komikero Artists Group launched our (impossibly) regular series “Komikero Komiks Anthology” (now on it’s 6th issue) early last year, I thought I would create a new stand-alone WASTED story. I’ve always tried to avoid creating anything new with regards to Wasted because I wanted to create new things, other things. Having been happy [...]

Signature Story

Over at Twitter, Charles Tan asked the question, “Which published story of yours would you like to be known for as your ‘signature story’“? I had replied that I would like to think I haven’t written it yet. After all, I’ve so far published only very few stories. There’s Wasted, Elmer, Timawa, Humanis Rex! the [...]

Wasted in Russian

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 9 Comments

I received an interesting fanzine today (in PDF) from Russia where they had translated Wasted into Russian. The title of the fanzine is RCFZ (Russian Comics Fan-Zine).. Browsing through the fanzine it looks like a pretty well made mag with, I assume, articles on Russian comics as well as reviews of American and European comics. [...]

Komikon 2008

By 12 noon it was already quite difficult to go around. There were that many people. I don’t have a headcount, but it’s quite plain to anyone who was there last year that this year’s crowd was just insane. I’ve had little opportunity to go around myself as I was almost completely tied to my [...]

Wasted Cover Original Art

Filed Under My Art, My Comics, Wasted | 4 Comments

This is the original artwork for the cover of the first Wasted compilation published by Alamat Comics in 1998. It’s one of the very few pieces of Wasted art that’s still around. As a few of my friends would remember, nearly all of the original art to Wasted was destroyed in a fire that consumed [...]
