Here's another vintage Philippine komiks from the year 1950, Mabuhay Komiks, with an awesome cover art by illustrator Hugo Yonzon. Previously, in the earlier issues, it was Tony de Zuniga who illustrated the novel, with Yonzon taking over in issue number 7.
The cover features the novel "Ang Sawa sa Lumang Simboryo" by Amado Yasona, a komiks serial that was made into a movie of the same title in 1952. Directed by Manuel Vistan, this movie, in heavy competition with such film greats as "Korea", "Bagong Umaga" and "Basahang Ginto", ultimately bagged the very first FAMAS "Best Picture" and "Best Cinematography" awards in 1952.
Some of the stories included inside this komiks are the classics "Borong-Borong" horror serial by Teodoro Virrey, "Prinsipe Abante" by Deo Gonzales, and "Pamboy at Osang" by J.M. Perez. I had since then, made this cover my computer's wallpaper, explaining its stretched image.
Cool vintage stuff.
