| Is there such a thing as "Filipino Comics
Art"?
There is. Objectivity is preferred, so I will let non-Filipinos make the assesment. David A. Roach, writing for the Comic Book Artist Magazine, (Issue #4, Vol. 2, 2004) describes this style as follows: "What the Filipinos shared
was a good, solid and usually (Niño excepted) conventional approach
to storytelling, exceptional draftmanship, and exuberant florid brushwork
which harked back to the golden years of magazine illustration in the first
few decades of the 20th Century."
