In the continuing effort to preserve and promote the works of Filipino
komiks creators, Komikero.com will begin the online serialization of
ORAS MO NA! written and illustrated by Rudy Florese, originally
serialized and published in Pioneer Komiks in 1984-1985.
The online serialization will follow the pattern of the original, with
4 pages uploaded weekly on Thursdays, and will continue until the story
finishes 33 weeks later.
ORAS MO NA! Begins on Thursday, March 29, 2007 at

Compared to many Filipino komiks serials of the 70’s and 80’s which had
hundreds of parts (each part is 4 pages), Oras Mo Na is relatively
short at 33 parts. Rudy preferred writing stories that were short, to
the point, and have definite endings. Ironically, Rudy himself was the
artist on probably the longest Filipino komiks serial in history, “…at
sumanib ang Langis Sa Tubig!“, written by Marty Gee Aragon, which, at
last publication, was running more than 1000 parts. The serial was so
long that it was never finished because of the closure of the komiks
publishing division of G. Miranda and Sons. The writer reportedly still
has a large stack of scripts yet to be illustrated at the time.
Rudy has also worked in American comics for several years, illustrating
the adventures of Tarzan and Korak, Son Of Tarzan, as well as several
stories for DC's Mystery/Horror comics line.
Rudy Florese passed away on April 4, 2003.
