The demand has grown so much that I’ve put it in the front burner of my company’s publishing schedule. However, he prefers creating comic books. There is not a comics convention that goes by (and believe it or not, we have something like six or seven of those a year here in the Philippines) that people don’t ask me for a copy of Wasted. Gerry Alanguilan is a licensed architect in his home country, the Philippines. The reaction is almost unanimous and immediate: No, we want to buy the print edition. I always point out that they can read the entire thing for FREE online. I still get letters and emails to this day from people looking for copies of Wasted. It allowed a lot more people to read it, specially those from abroad.īut then, a strange thing happened. In 2007, I decided to upload Wasted completely online, including a DVD-like commentary for each page at.

A few years later, Wasted went out of print. In 2002, Pulp Magazine published another compiled edition. In 2000 it was serialized for several months in Pulp Magazine. It has gone through several editions in print, the first edition coming out in 1998 through Alamat Comics. WASTED is the title of a comic book that I created from 1994 to 1996. Although Alanguilan is basically married to the idea of print publishing, he thinks it can exist with digital: While reading the whole thing is the best way to approach it, the gist can be conveyed. Filipino comics artist/self-publisher Gerry Alanguilan ( Elmer), was supposed to deliver an address at a symposium called “Future of the Book” but he was forced to bow out, so instead he posted his speech for all of us to read.
