Komikero Comics Journal are the everyday musings of 36 year-old Jerry Alanguilan, a Filipino Comic Writer and Artist. Jerry has been blogging since 1999! Which would officially make him a grandfather of Cyberspace.

Digging into the archives, I found his posts to be varied in topics, but mostly relating to the daily grind. As of recent though, his journal has become more focused on the Art of Comics and related musings. Nevertheless, this is interesting as well, as even the layman should be caught up in the world of Comic books and delighted by some of the comics/drawings he posts and explains.

His writing flows easily and I’m sure those that personally know him must get a kick out of reading him. The average blog reader, if interested in a Comic Artist/Writer’s life and expression outlet, might take a while to get acquainted with Komikero, but once this is done, it should be great fun.

The layout consists of a clean white template with a right hand sidebar. Very appealing. The entries are written over a notebook sheet design, which looks well and matches the feeling of the blog.

His sidebar includes an about page (always helpful), links to a photoblog, another blog of a more personal nature, a message board where a lot of discussions on comics are going on (I think those interested in comics will find this appealing).

In short, Komikero is one of those well-thought out and well-crafted blogs which is always a pleasure to browse. As an Artistic Site it is of a very high quality. And due to his solid permanence on the net and reader following (and also because Jerry himself, is a very nice guy), I’d say this is a place worth going to if only to browse through something new. And for those in the Comic Book Realm, then I would recommend this site as a must.Komikero Comics Journal
