Replies from the Komix For Girls? Wha? questionnaire! #02
Posted 10:19 AM by AD in Labels: essay, girls, komix, questionnaire1) foreign - mostly fantagraphics (hate, anything by crumb, daniel clowes) hernandez brothers, stray bullets, heavy metal, mad magazine, vertigo titles confined to enigma, tales from the crypt, recently stripburger comics, free mangas in japanese restaurants, archies, betty and veronica, xmen, batman, dark knight, grendel, peter mulligan, tank girl, collab bet. jodorowski and moebius, max and pete (as far as image comics is concerned) anything basta maganda drawing
local - funny komiks, wakasan, liwayway, aliwan, pinoy horror komiks, ghost story komiks, lovelife, komiks sa tabloid, sa inquirer, sa phil star, sa manila bulletin, pugad baboy, pupung, cesar asar
2) of course, anything that's drawn, even illustrated instructions on manuals, product literature, architectural drawings, sticker sa jeep, basta me drawing
i enjoy reading/looking at them mainly for the drawings.
3) are archies specifically targeted for girls, or betty and veronica? as i said, i read almost all kinds of comics and dont necessarily classify them as anything or for any type of gender. comics is comics!
always looking forward to paul pope, hernandez brothers, anything from fantagraphics, anything from the guy who did stray bullets, nestor redondo for the drawing, victor balanon - eto dapat suportahan
4) stray bullets - so far, bitin kasi e
5) i buy my comics from 2nd hand bookstores. or skim through them sa bargain box ng (what's this comic store in megamall that also sells static models?)maybe i look 30ish so im not bothered or im too engrossed with looking through the bargain bins that im too oblivious of any discrimination.
i also dont go to comicons, tho it's fun sometimes to see yummy girls in cosplay costumes, it makes me want to squish their boobies and grab their perky butts.
6) ha!!!!!!!! ha ha!!!!! why bother?
what for? comics is comics!
7) what for? generally for the local comix scene to flourish it needs better original stories and more original illustrators (enough of those manga type drawings, it's too damn easy)
also a wider market for comix (also increasing general literacy would help for this to happen) , financial backing for publishing, incentives for major publishers if they produce a free comics for a freee comic book day, international exposure for local comics, local comics alliances, comics forums, peer network support systems
8) see answerr above
9) manga type drawings!
10) komix for girlS?
even though komikera is made up of a collective of mostly girls, i dont see it as targeted exclusively for girls
