Francis Manapul Interview With LA Times' Hero Complex [Link]



Its great to see a Filipino comic book artist getting the spotlight in the comic book mainstream, and such is  one of my favorites, Fil-Canadian Francis Manapul who has been incredibly great in his current run on "The Flash" series together with Geoff Johns and it seems like there's nothing that can stop this guy right now running at full speed just like his favorite character.

I featured him and some of his works via his deviantArt page and now, he's got a great nterview with Hero Complex's Geoff Boucher where he talks about his love for DC's ultimate speedster and his patented ink-and-wash style.

Keep up the good work Francis!

Art of Francis Manapul - Wolverine [Video]

Watching artists draw is a pretty sight to watch. Today, we have Filipino-Canadian artist Francis Manapul, who is one of the most exciting comic book artists today and is known for his work on Witchblade, DC's Adventure Comics, and currently The Flash with Geoff Johns. He was ranked #48 on ComicBookResources Top 100 Artists List. 

Here he shows us how to draw Wolverine using his patented Ink and Wash technique with inks and paintbrushes. Makes me want to draw like him too, haha.

Thanks to cartoonblock for the vid! Lucky basterd.

Francis Manapul Does "The Flash" Like No Other

Filipino-Canadian comic book artist Francis Manapul was given the opportunity to work with DC's Chief Creative Office and big time comic book writer Geoff Johns on a new Flash comic book series and he sure embraced it and took on the challenge of bringing the speedster back to the comic book mainstream.. Manapul has been working with DC for almost 3 years now and to have his own monthly series is a sure testament to his artistry and talent.

The guy has really upped his game by taking our beloved speedster to life with great attention to detail and clean lines. And asides from working with The Flash, he also works as an illustrator in Adventure Comics (which stars Superboy and the Teen Titans) and Superman/Batman. And be sure to check out his devianArt page and website  - which are full of really nice sketches and inks. For the meantime, we have some of  Manapul's Flash preview and cover sketches, as well as some Superboy and Krypto moments, and a classic Joe Shuster Superman take.

Check some of his works:
