I Love Reading and Creating Comics

I love reading comics since I was very young. I love reading local comics when the Philippines industry of Comics was still active. I got introduced to international Comics when I was around my Grade School years. I have read both Marvel and DC comics and also some cartoon based comics. Comics are entertaining for me because you don't only read but also appreciate the artistic visuals. I use to collect some comics back then but they got lost and given away somehow.

I collect the Detective Conan Manga now that is translated into Tagalog. But I love reading English Comics. I tried making Comics myself and I am a little bit skilled in drawing and writing, so I am new at this craft. I love telling stories, but I have a little bit of sense of humor which Comics are originally meant for. Now most are serious stories some with violence and a lot of mature stuff for the adult readers. I miss reading Comics like Calvin and Hobbes that makes me laugh. I love how Comics have some humor in it, something wholesome.

Comics have turned out into a different medium now, there are many kinds of behavior being explored for it has become a general medium for a lot of different things rather just telling a story or having humor. I love Comics that are wholesome, that is why I appreciate reading even ones made for children and younger audiences. I also something mature for adults but with a balance of story and adventure, not really into unnecessary adults stuff that does not help in the story.

I love reading comics strips and newspapers, I use to cut them out from the newspaper when I was in High school to collect them. I like reading comics in any form for just as long it has good content to read. I created Comics of my own and there is a need for a lot of practice and experience. I usually upload my work of Comics and Novels on websites like Mangaido.com, which is a useful site to share your work and art for people to see. I like sharing my work even though I don't get anything in exchange to avoid obscurity. It's great to share your work with the world and making it your passion to entertain people for free.
