Batman was here
On my way to the supermarket at Power Plant I saw an exhibit in the hallway of published work by the Filipino illustrator Alfredo Alcala.
His work ranges from Tagalog komiks to the Star Wars comics in the L.A. Times to Swamp Thing.
We have a lot of great comic book artists, as Budjette frequently reminds us, but most of them are familiar only to serious comic book enthusiasts.
Alcala’s oeuvre includes work on Batman, Hellblazer, and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
You know what we need? An anthology of the best of Liwayway komiks. Full color, good paper (Please not disintegrating newsprint), with essays on comics and society.
