Here are some new interesting links people interested in Philippine Komiks might want to see.

Pilipino Komiks by Dennis Villegas
http://pilipinokomiks.blogspot.com/

Dennis Villegas, Philippine Komiks collector and historian and friend of mine, has recently put up a blog where he writes about our favorite topic, and posts some really remarkable artwork from his formidable collection. Check out his posting for October 18, 2005, where he uploaded a scan of an interesting cartoon from October 26, 1907.

He has since posted artwork from Vincent Kua Jr., Alex Niņo, Sonny Trinidad, Tony Velasquez and Hugo Yonzon.

Randy has been working in Philippine Komiks longer than I have been. A great lover of the medium, he's been writing about the plight and championing the cause of Philippine komiks and it's writers and artists for a long time. He has written a lot of very insightful and enlightening articles on the state of our komiks which you can find here in his blog and his other sites that's linked here.
