I have in my collection (aside from all the Beerkada books), Arnold Arre's Mythology Class, After Eden, and Andong Agimat, Carlos Vergara's ZsaZsa Zaturnnah, Manix Abrerra's three Kiko Machine compilations, Syeri Baet's two Carpool compilations, Gerry Alanguilan's Elmer (#1 - #3, still waiting for #4), Fully Booked's Expeditions comic compilation, the Lastikman single release by Alanguilan and Arre, and #1 of the Darna mini-series.
Weirdly enough, I only have the #6 Pugad Baboy compilation. I used to own #1 to that huge #10, but a bad combination of lending, stealing, and poor regard for personal stuff wiped that out. However, I do have a bit of PB gold in my collection: the Polgas graphic novel, first edition (big glossy pages, full-colored), in good condition.
Personal favorites? I'm a huge Arre fan. Nuff said.
There is actually one comic strip i used to like when i was a kid,it's called D.I.C.E. it's not anime but a local superhero genre that ran through the pages of Manila Bulletin.It means Dyno-Idustrial Cybernetic Entity and his nemesis,Toymaster.Hindi alam kung sinong author ang gumawa but i enjoyed it a lot and....loads of the late Larry Alcala's strip.

ang pagkakaalam ko e wala ng culture crash pero yung mga artist nun e continuous pa rin sa paggawa ng comics and other stuff...
Where They are Now
Ever since the untimely discontinue of the Culture Crash Comics which sprouted rumors when the group did not held a C3Con convention in 2004, the group announced both in their website, Taga Ilogs Blog and mailing group that they will be ceasing production due to lack of financial support
James Palabay James Palabay (Da Bhoss) Writer / Creator of ODID is currently running a game development company and is involved in helping other self publishers.
Jio Beltran Creator / Artist of Solstice Butterfly is currently employed by GMA's New Media department. He has expressed intent to continue Solstice Butterfly someday. Others like Jon Zamar, Elmer Damaso and Taga Ilog worked under the wing of Seven Seas Entertainment which features manga like Destiny's Hand and Boogiepop. Ryan Orosco is with the Darna staff helping out with their artwork after the revival of the Mars Revalo series and its boom on both the comic and TV version. Melvin Calingo also worked for other animation projects like the short film Blind Beauty (2005). He also draw the Ragnarok comics in one of the daily newspapers in the Philippines and do illustrations in the K-Zone magazine.
So that's what happened to culture crash. Sayang. update ko na rin pala yung listahan ko:
Funny Komiks - used to buy them as a kid. Inabutan ko pa Force 1 Animax at Combatron
Pugad Baboy (including Polgas Comics and Ink and Politics) by Pol Medina Jr. - missing several books "borrowed" by former classmates, friends and cousins
Siglo:Freedom and Siglo:Passion grafiction anthology books
Cast by Jamie Bautista - complete save for the last issue (12) not yet out in the market
Mythology Class, After Eden and Ang mundo Ni Andong Agimat by Arnold Arre - missing from my collection is Trip To Tagaytay
Private Iris by Jamie Bautista and Arnold Arre - it's for kids actually but could't resist not buying
Kiko Machine 1-4 by Manix Abrera - hindi ko rin napa autograph nung toycon
Ang Kagilagilalas na Pakikipagsapalran ni Zsazsa Zatrunah by Carlo Vergara - currently on loan to friends
Elmer #1 by Gerry Alanguilan - can't find the other 3 books
kasama na rin pala dito yung other daily strips sa Inquirer at Phil Star
(ibang thread na lang siguro yung foreign comic books )
hehe yeah pagkakatanda ko nga nun e parang naging finisher ni combatron ung nasa dibdib nya ( yung kagay sa guyver...or is it predator...i forgot hehe)
@ roachy : Loads of thanks.I knew it that they're in crisis.I collect also KZone and Elmer Damaso's art appears on Philippine Daily Inquirer's Sunday funnies.Ang daming sumulpot na local indie comics in the 90s which i manage to get some but getting financial support is still a big gamble of publishing comics.Is anyone here who collects Carlo J. Caparas' komiks?IMO,it's doesn't seem right in all places...
