<\/p>\nThe emergence of the classic Filipino komiks\u00a0in the 1920s brought a then-aspiring Francisco V. Coching to the limelight. Posthumously conferred as a National Artist for Visual Arts, the highest recognition for artists in the country, in 2014, Coching had raised the bar of visual art form through his numerous classics and outstanding contribution to the industry.<\/p>\n
Referred to as the “Dean of Filipino Illustrators,”\u00a0the komiks legend\u00a0had undoubtedly played a significant part in the Philippine comic industry through his novels and illustrations,\u00a0appearing as one of the most prolific figures in Filipino\u00a0komiks’ golden age during the 1950s and 1960s era.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
