This will the first of many features on Tony DeZuniga, a very talented artist who was instrumental in introducing the art of Filipino Comics Art to the world. DC Editors were so impressed by Tony's work when he first worked for them in the late 60's-early 70's that they asked if there were any more like him back home in the Philippines. Tony accompanied DC Publisher Carmine Infantino and editor Tony Orlando to the Philippines in the 70's on a talent scouting expedition which proved fortuitous for the likes of Nestor Redondo, Alfredo Alcala and Alex Niño, who were soon making work for DC.
