Mar Santana: Early Influence
Mar Santana's art style influenced my own style, and I didn't even know it! I remember how, as a kid, I'd get excited whenever I see his name printed in any of the weekly komiks we'd buy from the corner store. There was something about his lines that, pun intended, drew me in. When we eventually stopped buying komiks, I had com...pletely forgotten the name of the man. Thank goodness the internet jogged my memory. Here are samples of Mr. Santana's art, lifted from Arman Francisco's blog (http://tinyurl.com/3q2ym3o). If you look at the guy on the left, you can see where Dodong comes from.

Any updates on the sequel, Mr. Carver? your eager fans are all waiting with bated breaths. Icon na sya ng pinoy pop culture
Whenever I saw a male character drawn that way in any komiks (the guy on the right) im sure the name Hal Santiago is printed there somewhere.
My all time fave is Louie Celerio..when Carlo J. Caparas briefly revived local komiks i bought all of the komiks with Louie Celerio art lol!.
