Tweet

Is there anyone out there who knows Leinil Yu?Jerry Alanguilan?or even Carlos Pagulayan? They are just few highly talented Comic Book Filipino Inker/Illustrators who are more popular abroad than here in the country for their artworks. What could be reason why they are more famous overseas? Is it because only the well-off could afford to buy comics here in the Philippines? Leaving the remaining population of our country unaware of the booming Comics Industry which is a great opportunity for Filipino artists to try their luck?
