In this episode, we talk to Carlo Vergara, creator of the superhero comic ZsaZsa Zaturnnah. The widely popular Zaturnnah has transposed to theater productions and a full length feature film.

Carlo talks to us about his process in creating the sequel to the first compilation entitled Zaturnnah sa Kalakhang Maynila which went into the stands last month.

We also talk about the commercial viability of local comics – something that has been a bit absent recently.

WIPForIt Episode 6: Gerry Alanguilan

by wipcomics on January 19, 2012 at 3:00 pm
Posted In: Podcast

Our first guest for 2012 is Gerry Alanguilan, creator of the Wasted series, inker on countless Marvel and DC titles and, more recently, creator of the 2011 Eisner-nominated comic book Elmer.

We talk about how the perception of local comics has changed through the years and how it’s keeping up with the ever-changing and growing landscape of the Internet. The Greatest Man on the Internet also talks about his hugely famous viral Youtube video and its unintentional effects on the promotion of Elmer. That leads us to discussing marketing local comics and how its creators could do well by raising their standards through constructive criticism. And we (by “we” I mean Gerry and Hub only) also talk about our favorite TV show PSYCH! You know that’s right!
