Pilipino Komiks

LATAY SA DANGAL, episode of life touched the pages of Pilipino Komiks way back on September 11, 1994.

The drama of life unfold the story of a family ruined by alcoholic father and unfaithful mother. Alcoholism not only brought mental conflict but also created domestic violence. Home became warzone, children grew in pain and sufferings.

Drama intended to portray life or character, story involved conflict and emotions.

At the end, there is always a silver lining behind the dark clouds.

This was my first big break as komiks' novelist. And this story had caught the interest of Seiko Film.

This is the first time komiks used painting as medium in cover illustration (in novel), by famous artist Jo Luna, who reinvented himself as animator in the USA.

This is the start of my career as komiks editor.

Thanks to Miss Ofelia Concepcion the most respected editor in Atlas Publication who believed in my talent. She is fondly called Tita Opi by writers and artists, she became so well-loved by her peer , she had a balanced view of life. And whatever I achieved in my writing career I owe it to her.
