“Hindi sila tunay na apostol, kundi nandaraya lamang at nagkukunwaring mga apostol ni Cristo. Hindi ito dapat pagtakhan sapagkat si Satanas man ay maaaring magkunwaring anghel ng kaliwanagan. Kaya hindi kataka-taka na magkunwaring lingkod ng katuwiran ang kanyang mga lingkod. Ang kanilang kahihinatnan ay ayon sa kanilang mga gawa.” – Ang Ikalawang Sulat ni Pablo sa mga Taga-Corinto 11:13-15, Magandang Balita Biblia, Tagalog Popular Version.

Picture Trivia

          The Marvel Comics cosmic superhero Silver Surfer (a.k.a. Norrin Radd of the Planet Zenn-La) was conceptualized by Jack Kirby and first appeared on Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966). Do you know that the character was unintentionally made? Even at the beginning, writer-editor Stan Lee was hesitant of including a character riding on a surfboard.
          Silver Surfer’s silver screen debut was in the 2007 film Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Do you know that two actors portrayed the character in the said film? The physical actor was Doug Jones, and the one who voiced the character was Laurence Fishburne. At the beginning, the production team was not sure if the Silver Surfer will have a dialogue. Fishburne was first chosen to be the voice of Galactus. In the finality, Galactus was not given a talking physical form but merely a cloudlike shape, and Fishburne eventually ended up voicing the Silver Surfer. One additional trivia – Doug Jones once worked as a contortionist.

THE VALUE OF COMICS

Crossovers
Left: DC-Harris Catwoman-Vampirella team-up.
Right: DC-Marvel Batman-Daredevil team-up.

          The future value of every comics issue actually depends on 3 factors: 1 – The writer and the artist. 2 – The issue particulars. 3 – The number of published copies.

          The first one is self-explanatory; the more famous and popular the writer and artist, the higher the value of their works. Curiously, we can also mention that after the writer or artist dies, his works appreciate in value.

          The second concerns the issue number (first issues are valuable when they are ‘stand-alones” – meaning a completed story.), the significance of the issue’s content (origins, first adventures, etc.), and the significance of the issue itself (anniversaries, crossovers, team-ups, movie adaptations, etc.).

          The third is the basic tenet of all collectibles. In comics, the lesser the number of published copies (originals), the more valuable it will become in the future.

Ang mga Chain Letters

          Alam niyo ba na ang mga chain letters ay itinuturing sa US na isang “public nuisance?” Ang mga chain letters ayon sa mga pagsusuri ay maihahambing sa isang virus kung tema ng pagpapalaganap ang pag-uusapan. Itinuturing din itong isang malawakang sistema ng panlilinlang.

                                                         o     O     o

          Isa sa mga kauna-unahang “notorious” chain letters ay ang “Prosperity Club” chain letters na lumaganap sa Denver, Colorado, noong 1935, na naglalahad na susuwertehin umano ang mga magpapalaganap nito at aabutin ng kasawian ang tatanggi. Ito rin ang kauna-unahang chain letter na nakarating ng Pilipinas.

                                                          o     O     o

          Sa US ay illegal ang pagpapalaganap ng mga chain letters sa anomang paraan! Ang magpalaganap nito sa Internet ay maaaring kasuhan ng “wire fraud.”

                                                         o     O     o

          Karaniwang ginagamit na modus operandi sa religious-themed chain letters ang pananakot na kung hindi ipalalaganap ang mensahe sa loob ng chain letter, dadanas ng kamalasan o kamatayan ang taong pinadalhan nito.

                                                         o     O     o

          Ang mga chain letters na religion o get rich ang tema ang pinakamadaling lumaganap. Walo sa bawat sampung kababaihan ang nalilinlang ng mga pananakot sa mga chain letters. Samantalang apat naman sa sampung kalalakihan ang nagiging biktima nito.
