FILBARS Looking Great as Ever as it Reopens in Festival Mall

Got the chance to get a special look at the new and improved FILBARS store over at my old stomping grounds in FESTIVAL MALL on Saturday (July 27).


Let's admit it, we at one time or another bought our comic books from Filbars. It was either this CQ (remember, back then Southeners like me rarely go to Robinsons Galleria or Magallanes.) I distinctly remember spending my entire second salary buying CIVIL WAR tie-ins and INFINITE CRISIS stuff. In a nutshell, this was part of our childhood. 

It was a small event. I actually loved the fact that the who's who in the local komiks scene were present plus some colleagues and indie creators including the guys and gals (and dominatrix) of Frances Luna together with Kai Castillo...

Oh and they also invited my new IDOL Robert Magnuson; who was very, very pleasant to talk to...

The new Filbars is just plain cool. I found the revamped store so appealing. It's like literally beckoning me to go and visit their place and buy stuff from them. In fact, here's what a panoramic shot of the new store just to give you a feel of what the place looks like now.


They have a lot of great products in their store. Took some photos to prove that it's worth checking out when you're in the south.

Check out the ceiling. Sorry I rarely make a fuss about an establishment's ceiling but it looks totally cool! I want to have something like this installed in my pad.

Finally here's a selfie before I close this:

Again, thank you FILBARS and more power to you folks.

FL3 Illustration Firm Teases Us with A Rule 63 Captain Barbell Short

Frances Luna III Illustration firm boys RH Quilantang, Aaron Felizmenio and Wan Mañanita have sent me a link to their INDIEPENDENCE DAY for that Freedom Day surprise they had in store. It's actually a tribute to the late Mars Ravello's classic character Captain Barbell. 


Here's what writer RH had to say:

"Wasap! Sana na enjoy niyo ang aming ginawang fan fiction. Pagpaparangal sa kababaihan ang dahilan kung bakit ko ginawang babae si Captain Barbell sa version naming ito. Dito kasi sa fan fiction na ito, sinundan namin yung gawa nila Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. "

What's even cooler is what happens after uttering the words "CAPTAIN BARBELL". Check it out after the break.
