Counting the days before David Finch in Manila!

03.05.2012 – Saturday afternoon was not your usual extravagant event though for comic book junkies it’s a preview of what are things to come. The guys and gals who went masquerading as their Batman Family of characters for Fully Booked to promote David Finch’s arrival for next Sunday. This was received by photo opportunity and individual portraits from all walks of life. While they scour the grounds of Bonifacio High Street I took the liberty and checking out the set up display to promote the up coming event. Fully Booked teams up with Comic Odyseey to bring one of DC Comics’ well known artists to the country next week.

03.032012 – Consider Batman created somewhere outside in the United States and had become a global phenomenon. He would be a man in a cape running around rooftops and stopping crime, but his appearance would be based in one country’s culture shall we say the Philippines. The country known for white sand beaches and 7107 islands is not only made of mountains. It is a thriving mixed cultures influenced by countries such as Spain, Japan and the United States. So imagine Batman’s call signal looking differently design of a bat. He would be perching on top of Makati skyline preying those who would break the law.
