howdy all! after all this time, i finally up and went blogging! i wrote this to document this project i'm involved with. what is it? well, like all good stories, we need to start at the beginning.
i've always been nuts about comics. ever since i was a kid i've been facinated by these pictures with word that took me into lands that i never imagined existed. i started off reading the daily comics that was in the news paper back in the day. they reprinted those cool tarzan, the phantom, flash gordon adventure strips as a kid in the p. i.

i got so hooked that i started to do my own "comics". i got these butcher paper (we wuz poor. i didn't even gradute to typing paper til later!) and started to draw. i drew everything. but my favorite was making up all kinds of adventures of my heroes on those bacon fat stained paper complete with me vocalizing the dialogs and sounds effects (c'mon, you know you all did it too ; ) ).

i would go to the neighborhood palenke and rent these ratty copies of dc and marvel comics. i guess the lady who own the stall had some contact with someone at the US base, cause back then, it was kinda hard to find american comic books in my neck of the woods. i didn't care if some of the books were missing covers. i ate them up! she had the justice league of america, superman, the works! and with a tindahan that sells halo halo close by, it was nerd nirvana! i also devoured the local pinoy komiks stuff. i wish i still had those, cause they were awesome works from some masters of the artform. some of them actually did work for dc and marvel which just thrilled me no end!

later i got some fantastic four and daredevil from my father. it was the first time i actually saw some brand new american comics up close. kewl stuff. it was then i knew that i HAD to do this.
but how?

the answer came when it was announced that the family was moving to america.
