About me:
Work in Progress. Stay posted on updates for 2008.
For over 30 years, hundreds of Filipino comic book artists (also known as "komikeros"), from major to independent publishers, have been contributing their amazing talents to the American comic book industry. Beginning in the early 1970s, Tony DeZuniga became the first Filipino artist to break into the American market starting with DC Comics; he is the co-creator of DC's Jonah Hex and Black Orchid. Tony also led the first wave of Filipino immigrants to work for American comic books.
Get to know his story along with many other fellow Komikeros- Alex Nino, Ernie Chan, Danny Bulandi, Whilce Portacio, Philip Tan, and Leinil Francis Yu. This short documentary project will introduce some of the history and profiles of these underappreciated Filipino artists, past and present, America and abroad. Plus insight from some of today's biggest names in the comic book industry- Frank Cho, Mark Wheatley, Jose Villarrubia, Brian Philippson, Alex Saviuk, and more!
Directed and Produced by LeRoid David with Matthew Abaya.
