- Host Adrian Johnson concludes his personal trilogy of Pinoy comics greats with a celebration of the work of Alfredo Alcala. Known for his rich and emotive inking style, Alcala graced the pencils of many renowned pencilers including John Buscema, Don Newton and Gene Colan with a power here-to-before rarely seen. Alcala was also a master of comics storytelling within his right; coinciding with his personal creation Voltar in 1963. Adrian relays all this and more in this episode of 'Blerd It Out'

Wonderful video. During the 1990s I had the pleasure of being the editor of Secret Teachings. Thanks for the free plug, and happily that particular Alfredo Alcala work is still available in many bookstores and online.
You had me at Alcala
One of my favorite Filipino artists is Gerry Taloc.
Thanks, Sean! I dig Taloc as well. His rough ink line was perfect on those horror and war titles plus his time on the Hulk. I wonder if he ever inked John Severin as they appear really similar in line quality?
it's Gerry Talaoc
Awesome video, lot of stuff about him I didn't know. Alcala's work on Conan is what got me started in comic collecting.
Nestor Redondo, Alex Nino and Alfredo Alcala were among my favourite artists as a kid. Loved Alcala's inks on Buscema's Conan. Redondo I was only familiar with through the painted covers he did for SSOC. And Nino I knew because of his work in Creepie and Eerie.
One of the best, most informative comic book artist spotlights I've seen on TH-cam. Great job!
Thank you very much for taking a look! Feel free to subscribe to the channel here for upcoming brand new episodes!
Alcala on Buscema pencils made for the most beautiful art work of the twentieth century.
Two great masters at work.
Nice. Thank you for the video.
@@robertwesterfield3454 Thank you so much, Robert! I appreciate you watching.
This is the comics talk I love. Keep dropping that deep knowledge, I gotta have it.
@@pnptcn Thank you very much! I try to make things I would like to watch.
I’ve defiantly heard about ‘Alcala’ before. Thanks or properly introducing this artist to me. I’m looking for more artists to study from for my own art.
I love seeing Nestor Redondo's art. I found quite a few comic pages of his Swamp Thing on Pintrest-
Redondo is spectacular! His line work gives me such a rosy glow!
Hey, you like all my faves. Don newton phantom is my all time great, amazing that you read the mag I did on this group of artists.. I love alcala he as you know just sat on the floor with a board and let fly, thank you Adrian your heart is good.,
Great video! I had to look up Franklin Booth. Looks like I’m going down that rabbit hole too.
great video, keep posting
Keep doing your thing bro 💯
Thanks, Antonio! Appreciate you watching!
great documentry. learned something new. I had watched a video about the Phillipeano comic book invasion before, but it was more general that specific. I knew this nation had some great artist but it was cool to get a deeper insight on an artist.
Thank you very much, Cliff!!!
Love his work, always amazing
I've been looking for inspiration from some artists outside the usual suspects. These are some good ones for sure.
Dayum thanks for speaking on this artist I never seen his work
I appreciate you, Koby! Alcala was an incredible artist who do it all.
I’m late to the game, but playing catch up on your videos. First off, great work! Really informative and your passion and knowledge really shines through. Love the artists you’re highlighting as well as showing some of their influences. Thanks for the content! Subscribed.
Brother Adrian! Killing it!!
6 years ago? I just came across this vid. Gonna dig into the rest of your stuff
@@KevinAgot Thank you so much, Kevin! I’m in the process of creating new episodes now.
Just got finished watching the Sawblade666 review of some Buscema / Alcala issues of Conan so this video popping up as a suggestion was a real treat! Love your enthusiasm! That's a subscribe from me!
Thank you so much, Abbie!
I just picked up a set of original pages Alcala did for Conan (Pencils and Inks) just wicked stuff!
That's incredible, Samuel! Congratulations! I'd kill to have some original Alcala artwork! Do you know what issues and page numbers your pages are from? I'd love to look them up in my old comics!
@@InazumaStudios1 Issue: The Savage Sword of Conan #83 (1982)
Partial story (6 Pages total, Pg's 9,10,13,15, 16, 17)

Great work on this Adrian! (I did cringe at the idea of creating "tear sheets" from books. Yikes!) Seriously though, excellent work.
Here in Brazil, we have an amazing hardcover edition of Voltar - and other original Alcala's works - published by Pipoca & Nanquim Press. I don't know how easy should be to buy it from other country, but I recommend to anyone who likes his art at least check it out some images in publisher's website or youtube channel.
Alcala's shading was not random, he was sculpting the figures, if you really examine the shading and how he used it, you'll be able to see it.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was a sculptor.
Man I love your passion for these artists. Have you ever thought of doing a video on Serpieri? He's not philipino, but I feel like he's up their in the ranks of Alex Nino and Moebius in terms of his artistry
You mentioned don newton, please do a vid on him, especially his phantom, im doing subs for the title right now ..
Your camera doesn't seem to like you
I tried so hard to find this 'Secret Teachings' book but never could find one
There's also Rudy Nebres, another great artist of the time that came from the philipines
diamened Of course! While I definitely dig Nebres, I'm not as huge a fan as I am of Nino, Alcala and Redondo to devote an episode to him. But I think others on TH-cam have done episodes on Nebres!
I think you need to fix the focus of the camera because the back shelf is sharper, or perhaps move camera further a bit.
Anyways, this trilogy is an amazing find. Amazing work! Thank you for this!
A. Alacala has two inking styles in Conan Comics. First of this, you showed in Conan Saga. This is most energetic, influencal and majestic work of Alcala's. Other Style mainly was used on Alcalas's own pencil drawings. It was good enough but it was not my favorite.
YO THATS MY CLASSMATES GRANDPA!
Can we know more about that brush he did?
I would like to see your art work I'm a artist as well are you on Instagram?
