Ang “Kabalyerong Itim” ay nobelang isinulat ni Rino Bermudez at iginuhit ni Federico Javinal na nagsimulang lumabas sa mga pahina ng Mabuhay Komiks noong Abril 8, 1952. Ang pamagat ng nobela ay hiram mula sa mga maalamat na kuwento tungkol kay King Arthur na lumaganap noong ika-12 siglo. Datapuwa’t naiiba ang nilalaman ng kuwento. Nauna pang nailabas ang likhang ito ni Bermudez sa Mabuhay Komiks at naisapelikula ng LVN Pictures kaysa sa pelikula ni Alan Ladd na The Black Knight (1954). Sa pelikula, sina Rogelio dela Rosa at Tessie Quintana ang nagbida sa ilalim ng direksyon ni Bermudez.

Picture Trivia

          Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) won the Academy Best Award awards twice, for the films Battlefield 8 (1960) and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). Do you know that she also received many international citations in different fields? Two among these are the French Legion of Honor (1987) and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (2000). In 2001, because of Taylor’s humanitarian works, especially in soliciting 200-million-dollar funds for research on AIDS and in propagating international awareness about the disease, she was given a Presidential Citizens Medal.
