GLASS HOUSE GRAPHICS’ 15TH ANNIVERSARY:
A Look Behind The Company That's "Behind The Scenes"

Homeless, a young man in tattered clothes and ratty hair steps through the trash and muck of a garbage dump.  He "lives" there.  Finding an old tire and a discarded sheet of transparent plastic, he fashions a makeshift drawing table and practices inking a comicbook page with whatever tools and supplies he can scrounge.
            A married illustrator in a small foreign city works long hours as a newspaper paste-up artist to house and feed his wife -- weeks away from giving birth to their daughter -- on less than five dollars a day.
            An unemployed commercial artist survives a tragic public bus crash where others lost their lives, only to be turned away from his hard-won job interview after arriving disheveled and bloody.
            A student, poor and uncommonly thin, struggles to learn to draw comicbook pages before a congenital heart defect ends his dream and his life.  His family cannot afford to have the necessary surgery performed.
            Sad stories with more in common than undiscovered talent and a love for the comicbook medium, they share a happy ending called Glass House Graphics -- a company well known by editors and publishers but something of a secret to comicbook fans.

FearZone.Com interviews Mort Castle

"a couple of prose stories were adapted for comics. In fact, "If You Take My Hand, My Son," has appeared as a prose story, an audio production ( The Grist Mill -- AMFM Theater) and a comics story ( J. N. Williamson's Masques: An Anthology of Elegant Evil ). For me, I love seeing my stuff in media other than that in which I work. It shows me all over again that there are all sorts of way to treat an idea, an image, a story. Not right or wrong ways, per se... different ways." - Mort Castle

Carlo Pagulayan, Harvey Tolibao and Wilson Tortosa interview at Inquirer.net "Filipino comic book artists help shape mythologies"

Behind some of the popular comics currently being released internationally are Filipino artists, delighting geeks of all ages with their distinct takes on different heroes—from those in form-fitting battlesuits to those in Jedi robes—and their traditionally frenetic fisticuffs.

Pinoy pencilers and inkers started getting attention for their work abroad decades back. Some comics pros, like Whilce Portacio, Leinil Francis Yu and Jay Anacleto, became sought-after talents in the ’90s. They continue to draw for major American publishers such as Marvel and DC Comics.

Not long after, other Philippines-based pencilers—Glass House Graphics’ Wilson Tortosa, Carlo Pagulayan, and Harvey Tolibao, among others—debuted and began making waves with a number of noteworthy monthlies as well. Once again, fellow Pinoys’ artistry and storytelling skills enhance some previously established fantasy realms. - Inquirer.net
