journey to the center of the publishers lair
its like a field trip for me, going to a comic publishing house and interview some people who are into the comics scene The interview was a success, me and Lace with her team finished the day having two kinds of interview.
thanks to the publishers for their kind cooperation for letting us visit them and do the interview and also we went home with some freebies..yey!


The interview is very educational, I learned something especially about the comics industry. Two kinds of answers from the creative side and the business side, are passed on to us on whats their observation and experience in the field. Also I got confused on this question- Is the comics industry in the Philippines dead?-
about this tag question, Its hard to explain what happend, but they say that the comics scene is still alive and its always present in our time. but some of them says that it should'nt be called an industry coz its not the type of industry the Philippines had grown to and not the kind of industry to lift us up. Its hard to believe if we hear this.


but for the comics industry is still here, they are quiet and not that aggressive, its so sad that some publishers are already getting others comics to publish here, but thats how it goes. they still keep the people reading comics by getting those liscensed titles.thanks to them for bringing them here and selling it at low prices. While others are still continuing to put our pinoy blood on those pages just to show the world that yes...the Filipino can.

we are creative and we are good into this..so lets continue the fight to survive.

yey!!!!


the team are busy interviewing and getting ready to fill up the puzzle.


Lawrence Mijares of SIKLAB shares his idea and concept behind the success of free distribution of comics to all, SIKLAB for Free was a succesful hit this month, everyone can own and read comics for free every month.


Arnel GAbriel and Reginal Ting of PSI COM Publishing
they are having a new set up in their office, right now it is under construction.
they shared to us the success of their liscensed rights to published DC comics title.
its a really good idea to have the same quality and more pages to distribute comics in a cheap price.


Arnel Gabriel, President of PSI COM shares with us his start up in the comics scene.
