We'll be launching TWO new books at Komikon. One is the Elmer Collected Edition, collecting all 4 issues of the series. The 2nd is "Where Bold Stars Go To Die", written by me and illustrated by Arlan Esmeña, including a host of pinups from some of the best: Francisco V. Coching, Tony De Zuniga, Brice Beckham, Leinil Francis Yu, Carlo Vergara, Carlo Pagulayan, Arnold Arre, Gilbert Monsanto, Philip Tan, and Edgar Tadeo.
Over at Jonas Diego's Robo Monkey Pixel Fighters' table is the launching of Komikero Comics #3,an anthology of comics stories by members of the Komikero Artists Group. It features my 8-page "Timawa: Jumper" story for the first time in print.
Over at Vibal Foundation's table is the launching of Francisco V. Coching's EL INDIO, a collection of Coching's classic komiks-novel from the early 50's digitally restored and collected for the first time. The digital restoration was done by myself and Zara Macandili.
SUMMIT will also be launching "UNDERPASS" a full color comics anthology featuring the work of Budjette Tan, Kajo Baldisimo, Oliver Pulumbarit, Ian Sta. Maria, David Hontiveros, Carlo Vergara and myself.
I'll also be putting up for auction a rare handcrafted ELMER Hardcover Slipcase, to benefit flood victims. Other items for auction include a signed Leinil Yu sketchbook.
The Komikero Publishing table will be near the entrance, to the right. Arlan Esmeña and I will be at the table to sign starting 11am.
