The First One Hundred Years of Philippine Komiks and Cartoons by John A. Lent is a survey of Philippine editorial cartooning, comic strips, and komiks, covering roughly a century of art from the American colonial period through the early 2000s. Organized into 3 sections — Philippine Editorial Cartoons, Philippine Comic Strips, and Philippine Komiks — the book draws on original artwork, vintage magazine covers, and strips spanning the full arc of the form, from American-era bilingual cartoons to the international breakthrough of Filipino illustrators at DC Comics in the 1970s.
The volume was produced as a coffee table book to accompany a major gallery exhibition, with the foreword written by Boboy Yonzon, the son of komiks artist Hugo Yonzon Jr., who traces his childhood memories of watching his father and his father’s peers, including Malang, Larry Alcala, Francisco Coching, and Mars Ravelo, at work. Lent, a Temple University professor of mass communications and a Fulbright scholar who first lived in the Philippines in 1964–65, is the leading English-language academic authority on Asian comics and cartooning, with over 70 books to his name.
This copy is inscribed by Lent to Frédéric and Ghylaine, “with much friendship, respect, and admiration,” and signed and dated 5 December 2010.
