Tauros was the 2nd place entry in
Super Action Pocketkomiks' Original Super-Hero Drawing Contest in 1986. Created by one
Apollo B. Atillo from
Angeles City, the character was unveiled in
Super Action #26 (February 12, 1986).
As part of the prize, Tauros was made into an 8-page story that appeared in
Super Action #35 (April 16, 1986), written by
Oumar Urriza and drawn by
Brix A. Bartolo. The hero was a 12th century
Viking warrior who was blinded and brutally murdered by his enemies. Pleading to the Norse god
Odin that his death was unjust, Tauros is sent back to modern-day Earth, reincarnated as a naturally-blind Filipino farmer,
Francisco "Isko" San Jose. Eventually, Isko discovers his true identity after a brush with some evildoers...
