Description

"History of the Submarine Wahoo" ("Ang Kasaysayan Ng Submarinong Wahoo") Chapter 5 by Alcala. Cover date November 1964. The series ran in Redondo Komix #38-#50 in 1964 and 1965, according to a bibliography of Alcala's Filipino comics compiled by Tristan Lapoussiere.

Physical or digital copies of the comic are hard to find. I'd certainly appreciate help finding an image of the published page and a better one of the published cover.

Alcala imparted a sense of motion and individuality to his figures even when they're standing still. You can feel the sonar man in the top panel turning in his chair to give an urgent message for the captain to a fellow sailor. The sailors look like distinct individuals. Even though a dialogue page, it's alive with personality and motion. It's the second page in the collection from this submarine story.

Translation is in the additional images.

The Redondo #45 entry has a historical note and a photo of a museum display about the commander of the USS Wahoo.

Alcala had to show with authenticity that even though the dialogue was between two people, there are others around the same communications center probably to decode messages for a more complex process than what is nomally shown on other mediums.

Oh, wait, I just scrolled up and saw that you think so too! Cool!

He was a really great artist; his historical WWII figures are just perfectly illustrated for the medium.

I was thinking the same thing that Ruben commented. This shines because of the individual looks of each person on the page. Gives it a life that is not present when a lesser artist might draw in more stylized figures!

Congratulations on a great Alcala example. Nice add to the collection!

Graet to see these vintage pages from his work in the Phillipines.
