Ang Pilipino Komiks Blg. 157 na may petsang
Hunyo 6, 1953, tampok sa taklob-pahina ang
nobelang-komiks ni Francisco V. Coching na
“Dumagit”
          Batay sa kuwento, napadpad sa isang isla ang mag-asawang Marina at Joaquin Olivar. Sa kagubatan ng islang ito namatay si Marina matapos ipanganak ang isang batang lalaking pinangalanang David. Itinaguyod ni Joaquin si David, at dahil sa kakaibang liksi ng bata, binigyan niya ito ng palayaw na “Dumagit.” Sa kasamaang-palad napatay ng mga mangangasong dumayo sa isla si Joaquin kaya mag-isang lumaki si Dumagit kasama ang kaniyang mga kaibigang hayop. Makalipas ang 20 taon, dumating sa isla si Federico, ang kapatid ni Joaquin. Kinuha niyang pabalik sa sibilisasyon si Dumagit, subalit hindi siya makaangkop sa mga kaugalian ng kalunsuran kaya higit na ninais ng binata na bumalik sa kinagisnang isla kasama ang kaniyang minamahal na katipan na si Marabini.
          Sa pelikula, si Cesar Ramirez ang gumanap na Dumagit kasama sina Myrna Delgado, Lolita Rodriguez, Van de Leon, na pinatnugutan ni Armando Garces.
