Humanis Rex #2!


Fudge, May 2005

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finished part 3 of the story, and having been pressed for time (due to Silent Dragon), I considered dusting off an old unpublished page which suited the story I wanted to tell in #3 perfectly.

For a long time I was kind of put off by the fact that some of my best stuff will remain unpublished and I'm glad I was able to reconfigure at least a page to fit what I'm doing today.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.

Hi, Gerry,

The Fudge magazine that I bought (which has part 2 of your comic) doesn't have the same cover as the one shown on your site...

Apparently, may tie up sila with MCA, yung company ni Mariah. This issue is supposed to be a giveaway pala with every purchase of Mariah's new album.

The regular cover is the yellow one with Emm Gryner.
