School Year 1988-1989
A seven year old Grade One student started a hobby with his talent by making drawings on pad papers, bond papers and the vacant pages of his school notebooks. A follower of Bata-Batuta Komiks, Filipino Funny Komiks and Ayos! Komiks and an avid cartoon show viewer, he was influenced and inspired to create a story and characters of his own.
The first story he made was Duck Tracy, derived from the movie Dick Tracy and Howard the Duck. It was about a planet where ducks and other birds who lives like we do here on Earth. Duck Tracy was a cop detective and the era of his timeline has that 1920's touch where the country were plagued by mafias and gangsters.
Along with this he also created the Ninja Clan and after a month, the Orions. Ninja Clan was the largest clan network comprise of the best order of Ninjitsu. Orions on the other hand were the counterparts of the ninjas; they came from a distant galaxy searching for a new place to start anew. These beings were individually gifted by varying super powers.
As the years passed the comic's characters grew in numbers and the boy slowly lost time to finish all of them. Bit by it even up to his high school years, he never stopped making his comics and his friends, classmates and schoolmates never got tired of reading his works.
He named it the M. C. Comics and when he reached college he gathered all old drafts and notebooks containing materials about his comics and began re-drafting them for book adaptation. The concept is promising and the execution monumental. As preparation for this upcoming project of his, he created a Facebook page for his novels, M. C. Comics and studio. He named his studio page; Pixel Dust Studios (which became Duneglider Studios recently this 2013).
