Alex Niño
Cover, Tagalog Klasiks Magasin # 427
May 26, 1967
Wraparound covers in Philippine Komiks were commonplace and above example by Philippine and international comics legend Alex Niño is just one in hundreds of such covers. I've yet to trace when it was first used, but it started to become most prevalent in the early 60's, specially with the komiks published by CRAF Publications on such titles like Redondo Komixs, Alcala Fight Komixs, and Craf Klasix.
CRAF comes from initials of 4 comics creators who incorporated to form their own comics company when pioneering company ACE Publications closed down. They are composed of Tony Caravana, Amado Castrillo, Virgilio and Nestor Redondo, Alfredo Alcala and Jim Fernandez.
