It’s great seeing all this attention being given to komiks and to those who create them. I feel very proud [...]

By then I’ll be 70, which in that case I’ll be too old and most likely waiting for the end, or I’d already have been dead. It’s times like this I’m glad I don’t have children. But it doesn’t really bother me on a personal level. [...]

Filed Under Philippine Comics | 2 Comments

I’ve just received word from our Komiks Congress representatives Randy Valiente and Mario Macalindong that the opening of the Comics Art Exhibit at the NCCA tomorrow, February 22, is postponed for a later date.
