There are illustrations that the approach is painting like the illustrator of the classic Prince Valiant, but he didn’t attempt to paint. In illustration you can establish lines, you cannot do the same in painting. You know illustrations and painting are different. When you worked with comics, were you also painting? How were you able to switch to different media and have a distinct style in both field? My friend in manila told me to send samples of my works, he sent my works to DC, and an American writer sent a script to my friend for me to illustrate. I was an artist in WVSC and contributes drawing to Yuhum Magazine, illustrating the novel of Muzones. That’s all because, thru those pieces of your work, they would know your caliber. I showed samples of my illustrations to DC publications and waited for the result. How did you get to work as an artist for DC Comics? He brings this to both his illustrations in comics and paintings on canvas. He exhibits the ability to capture gestures in depicting the stance of a warrior, the aim of a soldier’s gun, dancing of the townsfolk, etc. Perhaps the most apparent characteristic of Art Geroche’s art is his command in creating lines that really dictated the perception of movement in a scene. One of his popular works is the depiction of Hinilawod displayed at the West Visayas State University – Cultural Center. While drawing for comics, Geroche was also painting historical events and cultural traditions which earned him projects in different government institutions. In order to create the American characters and scenes fit for the DC audience, Geroche studied the American styles of illustration by looking at clippings of sceneries including people’s facial expressions. The panels he has drawn for DC were part of the horror-boom in the late 1970s.
Gerry Alanguilan wrote that comic book artist and writer, David Roach describes Geroche’s art as “a mix of Gene Colan, Doug Wildey, and the Spanish grandmaster, Jesús Blasco.” He was consequently hired, and a script written by an American was sent for him to illustrate. According to Geroche, his friend from Manila told him to send samples of his works to DC.
One of the artists whose illustrations found their way to the pages of DC is Art Geroche.Ī graduate of Drafting from the West Visayas College of Science and Technology (Iloilo Science and Technology University), Art Geroche was working as an artist, contributing to Yuhum Magazine and illustrating the novels of Ramon Muzones. During this time, people from DC went to the Philippines to scout for talents. Comics enthusiasts place this era from 1950 – 1980. The Golden Age of Filipino Comics gave us Classic Komiks, and introduced us to characters that went on to become household names.
