Carlo J. Caparas and Sterling are very serious in restoring back our old traditions in comics.
Although that it took me some minutes in searching for these comics in our local news stands, while walking in the street of Quiapo, I just saw already some probably conflicts that may encounter for the comics.
In Quiapo, pirated dvds are mostly visible than the comics news stand, after walking from Quaipo to recto, it took me 3-4 news stand store before grabbing a copy of the comics in a small street store selling newspaper, cigarette and now! the comics.
after buying one set of 5, I began my walkathon going to Recto, and search for other store.
unfortunately, I just saw 2 store carrying the product. It looks like that out 10 store, only 2 of them sell the comics.
here are the covers of the comics.
This part is new, they included a tab seal, so that possible buyers can't peak on it.
early readers, including me. Ariel, Patrick and Lyndon (not on pic) are amazed on the release
but after that our Artists' Den discussion focuses on. How many months will these comics continue? Are they going to compile them in one book ? Will there be more ad sponsors next issue? is this will be a weekly run forever? are there any other titles coming ?
or are the other part of the comics industry will follow this hype?
what's under Caparas' sun glasses. well we just hope that he is not a clone.
Andres de Saya..
as always.
Hal Santiago's illustration for Kroko, now one of my favorite title.
I texted Mr. Hal and I congratulate him for the release of the comics, then he replied his thanks and later on I was surprised on the last part of the message, there is a meeting going on at the building of Sterling and I was told to go there and join their meeting. oh wow! Sterling and the Caparas. But too bad I failed to join their meeting due to our commitment to set up the exhibit in UST that afternoon.
there it goes kids! go out and buy!
for only P10 pesos.
only in the Philippines!
