After
World War 2 the comics section of Liwaway became so popular (as did comics
as a whole) that a separate and detachable comics section was produced
along with the main magazine. Many of the top writers and illustrators
worked for the magazine including Francisco V. Coching, Mars Ravelo, Fred
Carrillo and Alfredo Alcala.
On this particular issue, the printing wasn't
particularly good and colors did not print exactly where they should have.
I thought I'd take a stab at restoring a full color page. I approached
this project with the thought of preserving as much of the original colors
as I could but at the same time I felt I had to tweak it a little bit to
compensate for some coloring imperfections of the print, as well as employing
a bit of artistic sensibilites that hopefully make it more aesthetically
pleasing. I tried not to change too much that would change the look
totally and I absolutely avoided any modern coloring techniques that would
be out of place in an early 1950's comic book.
