FRANCISCO V. COCHING'S "BERTONG BALUTAN" (1948): KOMIKS SERIAL AND MOVIE ADAPTATION


One of the early works of Francisco V. Coching was Bertong Balutan, a 1948 Pilipino komiks serial novel. The young Coching then was already showing signs of becoming a great storyteller and illustrator with this wonderful piece below. Truly, a work of art from the Master. In 1949, Bertong Balutan was made and adapted into the movies with Fernando Poe Sr. in the lead role.

Below is the first five issues of this awesome komiks novel---
