Kabayaran sa Tagumpay
Kabayaran sa Tagumpay by Honorio Salazar Illustrated by Angel Martinez Ligaya Komiks Issue No.1 April 19 1960
Steve, Here's another example of a Coching-influenced illustrator. In fact your two other recent postings illustrated by Villegas-Ty and Escover were also Coching-influenced. There actually were many illustrators influenced by Coching which I never saw. Somehow they disappeared and all the Redondo-influenced artists took over and which lasted for a very long time. Wonder why this was so. Maybe Coching was harder to copy? Interesting. Rod
Angel Martinez became a very good illustrator later (1970s). His style became his own and it had no vestiges whatsoever of what Steve has posted here. Like many komiks illustrators who copied Redondo and Coching, the moment they weaned themselves from their favorite masters, they found their own style, like in the case of Yandoc & Rodriguez who were obviously influenced by Coching in the early years of their careers but found their own style later.
Steve, Hindi mo yata nakuha yung sagot ko about the poster. Please do send me a scan. Thanks. JM, Hindi ko yata kilala si Angel Martinez. Yandoc and Rodriguez were probably the exception, most of the Redondo-type stylists could not get away from his brush style. Nebres was influenced by both, his layouts were Coching, but his rendering was Redondo. Rod
