Tony DeZuniga(Taken May 2011 in Makati)

Just found out this morning first from Pinoy Avenger that Tony DeZuniga died earlier midnight. Mr. DeZuniga was the first Pinoy who made it big in the American Comics industry. His major contribution not only as a penciller was co-creating Jonah Hex for DC Comics. Most of the pinoys didn't know this but the most in the Pinoy comics community knew this. When Jonah Hex became a movie, he was also in the movie credits and attended the U.S. premiere. I got to see him here during comics events when his in town. Last April, he got a threatening stroke. Doctors were able to save him but his situation was already serious. The local comics community continues to give contributions for his hospitalization costs. He is at least 70 years old.
