. they who make great things possible TEAM GLOBE circa 2003 I am now the "eldest" in the team. This is my fifth year in the Globe Team. Most of Team2003 are still with us. Some have moved to other creative teams. Others have completely left the agency and are now doing the thing that they've always wanted to do. It is 2:49am and we're still working on several materials that need to be presented later. Today I realized even after my five years here, there is still much to learn. Thank God it's Friday. We have the weekend to look forward to. And then we start all over again. Making great things possible.

Why don’t we just wait for them to release the compilation and then we’ll get it, okay?” The kid agreed. “Okay! Change topic! What about….” and the kid launched to another series of comic book related queries, all of which were answered by the dad. It’s nice to see that there are dads like that. A lot ...

. WIN! WIN! The National Book Award for Comic Books goes to “Mars Ravelo’s Darna,” edited by Zach Yonzon, published by Mango Comics. Like any other big super-hero, Darna undergoes reincarnation every now and then. But Mango Comics’ newest avatar for Narda with the magic stone is by far the flashiest and most effective so far.

It is a treatment that also honors the boundless contributions of Mars Ravelo to our collective consciousness.
