Can you give me a brief history of Philippine Comics?

Unfortunately, there's simply no easy access to such a history readily available in stores, and it does require one to do some hardcore research to come up with something comprehensive. Try not to ask me to relate the entire history of Philippine comics in an email because not only will I not be able to (because it will take a lot of time), but it will also qualify as me doing all the work for you. 

Fortunately, there are lots of resources online. Check out this blog entry from my site where I list various resources you can have access to and download:

Sources on the History of Philippine Comics

In that entry I talk about this article on Komiks history written by International comics historian Dr. John Lent. If you want to own a copy of it, as well as have a magazine that will offer even more material for your research, you can buy the magazine in the link below.
