Humanis Rex #2!

Humanis Rex #2 is out with the latest issue of Fudge!

Working on #3

I also just finished part 3 of the story, and having been pressed for time (due to Silent Dragon), I considered dusting off an old unpublished page which suited the story I wanted to tell in #3 perfectly.

For a long time I was kind of put off by the fact that some of my best stuff will remain unpublished and I'm glad I was able to reconfigure at least a page to fit what I'm doing today. This page would comprise much of page 2 of Humanis Rex #3, but page 1 is compeltely new.

For those who have been following the strip, #1 had a full page spread of an "overview" of the series, showing who the main characters were, who the bad guys were, where it's all happening, and a hint of some of events that are going to take place.


Humanis Rex #1 Page 1

This "overview" page is inspired by how komiks stories were told for many decades here in the Philippines. "Part 1" or "Unang Labas" as they were called, usually had a large panel, sometimes a whole page, and sometimes a 2-page spread (as in the case of Coching's latter work and Hal Santiago's 70's work) showing the "essentials" of the story without giving too much away.

#2 is a prologue establishing one of the major characters of the story.

#3 is a presentation of the status quo of the society in which I will be telling my story.

#4 is where the story can finally begin, now that I've established who, what, where and when.
