(Mars Ravelo's Darna by Mosanto of Yonzon's Mango Comics)


Darna, by Nestor Redondo. Nestor Redondo was exposed to komiks before he could read and write. His father used to bring him imported comics. What fascinated him were Tarzan, Buck Rogers, Superman, Flash Gordon, The Lone Ranger ans Captain America. He took up Architecture at the Mapua Institute of Technology, and at the same time illustratin komiks stories for Bulaklak Publications. Soon, he was neck deep in the komiks craft. He illustrated a serial, Palos, penned by his brother Virgilio, who is himself an illustrator. Palos was successful and ran for 14 years. Then followed by other stories by Virgilio, among them Diwani and Gagamba. He also did the artwork for most of pablo Gomez's opuses; Gilda, Bangkusay and Dayukdok. Redondo's popularity really skyrocketed when he was commissioned by the Ace Publications to illustrate Mars Ravelo's blockbuster series Darna. in 1972, he established contact with American comic book and magazine publishers. That started his international exposure. Initially, he illustrated several episodes of Buurough's Tarzan. Later, he took over the artwork for The Swamp Thing, a very popular series in the United States. He ran an art studio in his Valenzuela, Bulacan home, and accepted commissions from U.S. publishing firms. He participated in art exhibits here and in the U.S., and lectured abroad on komiks illustration. In 1979, he was bestowed the prestigious "Inkpot Award" by the San Diego (California) Comics Convention. Previous to this, he was the recipient of the Valenzuela (Bulacan) Kalikasan Award for his outstanding contributions to the advancement of arts and culture as a comics illustrator.

Payment by PAYPAL through xoom.com

Our auctions at http;//www.ebay.ph (by seller : angela_m2m) are ongoing and we thank all the bidders for their kind interest in our items. Most of our buyers have been from the Philippines, but have come from all over the country. We have had bidders from Northern Luzon, the Visayas and the Mindanao Area. The wonders of technology. Communication through email, and text messages have made coordination and communication very easy and smooth.

Payment by our bidders, usually is through bank deposit and the auction lots are sent by Courier which usually takes only a day after the package is sent. Some bidders who are in the area of Makati, or have messengerial services, have opted to pick up the auction lots and have paid C.O.D. (Cash On Delivery).

For international buyers, payment through Money Order / Money Transfer through Western Union has been preferred by us and been made by a few. This has limited the options of most buyers. Sending payment by mail is considered risky.

Recently, we have registered at http://www.xoom.com to be able to receive payment by paypal. Paypal is not yet available here in the Philippines. But through this site, we hope that buyers from other countries may send their payment just like paypal and charge it to their credit card (pls do check out the details and we are not really quite familiar with it at this time yet). After receipt of payment; we will send packages by registered mail and it would usually take three to four weeks to arrive. Courier may be considered but is much more expensive.

With this development, we hope to be able to cater to more internqational buyers and make availble to them the items we posted; should they find the new payment option acceptable and convenient after checking it out. We also hope that we keep you interested with our collections.
