JURASSIC TERMINATORS

Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park were two of the biggest blockbuster movies of the early 1990's, so it's only natural to expect that some local publications would capitalize on their popularity.  In this case, though, Graphic Arts Service Inc. (GASI) opted to merge both properties into one.  Well, sort of.

Jurassic Terminators was created by writer Primus Inter Pares and artist Lan Medina for Super Heroes Comix (which probably should have been retitled Jurassic Comix since almost every feature in it had something to do with dinosaurs) in 1993.  Set on the world of Jurass, populated by a race of highly-evolved, technologically-advanced dinosaurs, it chronicled the ongoing conflict between the peace-loving Herbivores and the war-like Carnivores.

From Super Heroes Comix #22 (December 19, 1993).

 

VALENTINA'S Day

Pilipino Komiks #87 - Art by Nestor Redondo

Since her debut in the very first Darna serial in Pilipino Komiks (1950-51), the snake-haired Valentina has been one of the great Filipina superheroine's most enduring foes.  A frequent antagonist in the many film and television adaptations through the years, the tragic Serpent Queen returned to the comic pages when Mango Comics launched their 3-issue English-language Darna revival in 2003.  Below are some selected images of Valentina (and Darna's in there somewhere, too) from that mini-series.
