Babbling Point

Well, you heard the lady, see you all at the KOMIKON, this Saturday, Nov22, at the UP Bahay ng Alumni. At the Visprint table, we’ll have the two TRESE books available, as well as a free poster for everyone who buys a copy. I believe Manix Abrera will also be there with his KIKOMACHINE books (Asteeeg!) and Freely Abrigo with his KULAS compilations (kulet!!!). I think we’ll also have copies of ZSAZSA ZATURNNAH and the PENUMBRA horror novellas as well. Right beside the Visprint table will be the Alamat Comics table, where you can get copies of THE LAST DATU (my first collaboration with Kajo), as well as KADILIMAN by David Hontiveros and Edgar Tadeo. Also available will be SKYWORLD: APOCRYPHA and the ashcan/sneak preview of SKYWORLD: BOOK 2 by Mervin Ignacio and Ian Sta. Maria. Actually, you can already see a preview of at the art at: iantoy.deviantart.com Once again, we’ll be sharing the table with Reno Maniquis who will have copies of MASKARADO ready for anyone who hasn’t gotten on board...

in stores now : KADILIMAN and TRESE 7 KADILIMAN: IN THEIR SILENT SHADOW CARNIVAL Written by David Hontiveros Art by Edgar Tadeo (click thumbnails to see larger version) During the final days of World War II, the Nazis activated a doomsday device somewhere in the Pacific. The Justice Corps, the Philippines super-hero team, was the only one who could respond in time to stop the device. The survivors of that fateful day were Bituwin, The Ermitanyo, and the super-villain Dr. Kadiliman. Decades later, we find Dr. Kadiliman, trying to live a peaceful life with his granddaughter Kadi. Once a year, on the anniversary of that day of sacrifice and heroism, Dr. Kadiliman disappears. Where does he go? Who does he meet with? Discover the answers in KADILIMAN: IN THEIR SILENT SHADOW CARNIVAL. TRESE 7: EMBRACE OF THE UNWANTED Story by Budjette Tan Art by Kajo Baldisimo At the lowest basement of the MagnaMall, the mangled body of a woman is found. The trail of blood brings Alexandra Trese face-to-face...

Kita-kits sa KOMIKON http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif Well... you'll kinda, sorta, somewhat see Trese and Makabo at the Komikon . They'll be sold on the same table but they won't be in the same comic book. (Well, at least not yet.) The pin-up above was illustrated by Ian Sta. Maria . Makabo the Tikbalang is one of the characters from the comic book SKYWORLD. Before we ever get to this magical,mystical, marvelous team-up, you'll have to read Mervin Ignacio and Ian Sta. Maria's SKYWORLD: APOCRYPHA . After many years of writing and drawing storyboards for clients (who have a tendecy to revise everything you put on the page) Mervin and Ian finally finished this story which they can say is all theirs. (Well, a couple of people gave their inputs and asked for changes as well. HAHAHA) Aside from SKYWORLD, TRESE 7: EMBRACE OF THE UNWANTED will also be available at the Komikon. So, for those of you who haven't picked up the complete set of TRESE, you can get all s...
