TWO SIMPLE HEART-WARMING KOMIKS STORIES

TWO SIMPLE HEART-WARMING KOMIKS STORIES

 

          During the onset of the “Golden Age of Komiks” in the Philippines, many beautiful short stories were written and illustrated, some with simple plots but nonetheless possessed heart-warming narratives of family life, love and loyalty that are worthy of praise and remembrance.
