Nestor Redondo's Quo Vadis




Uploaded in the museum is the 2nd half of QUO VADIS, an adaptation of MGM Picture's 1951 motion picture written by Clodualdo Del Mundo and drawn by Nestor Redondo. This adaptation so impressed MGM bigwigs that they sought to hire Redondo as in house artist and offered to fly him to the United States. But Redondo declined, feeling that he was perhaps too young to make the move.

This adaptation was serialized in Tagalog Klasiks #91-92, pubished by ACE Publications in 1953 to promote the film that was set to be released in the country that year. It has never seen print anywhere else since it was first published. Many consider QUO VADIS as Nestor Redondo's masterpiece, and yet few people today have seen it. I'm happy to have the opportunity to share this with all the visitors of this site.

However, I was only able to get the last 8 pages of the 16 page adaptation, and I'm still working to get the first 8.
