Thanks Jim and Ed for reminding us how amazing the late great Nick Manabat's art is. Thanks for not letting it fade. Back in the mid-90s, when i was enrolled in a comicbook making class, we met Whilce and Nick's dad -they're friends, and Nick had passed two or three years before. One story Nick's dad told us was when Nick was confined and word got out during one of the conventions in the US, his idols visited him at the hospital. Among the visitors i remember him mentioning was Simon Bisley, whom he described as a large biker-type guy. We also visited Nick's house and were shown the massive collection of inspirational artboooks that fueled his imagination and talent.
Man, it sucks that this dude died so young. 23 years old. Imagine how many more great comics we would had had if he survived Hogdkins disease 🙏🏽
Thanks for filling in the details. Damn. That's just tragic.
Whilce and Filbar's (a favorite local comic shop) organized a drawing contest when he went to the Philippines. Together with many aspiring comic artist, teenage mediocre me joined and obviously lost. It was a humbling but also a proud moment. The winner was Nick Manabat. RiP. Gone too soon.
I will never tire of looking at Nick's artwork.
Me neither.
Wow, my goodness.. I had never heard of Nick until now. Watching this really hits home that u never really know when your time is up on this Earth, and its clear that Nick Manabat drew like there was no tomorrow on these pages. Phenomenal draftsmanship from such an early age as an artist.
Hugely talented yet very driven to draw comics. I have no doubt that he would've improved his eye for visual storytelling, and pace his work better as time went by.
I can only imagine how he would've matured as a comic book artist. So it is bittersweet seeing the huge potential in a lifelong career that was left here... .. .
Anyway, thanks for shedding light on this work fellas!
Keep spreading the word on the underdogs of the comic world!
I was so blown away by Nick's work that you showcased. So I looked him up on the web. When I saw he had passed my heart sank. So incredibly young and so talented. A tragedy. I'm thankful that he blessed us with his talent for the short time he had. Rest in peace.
Made me shed a tear with this one. Thank you 🙏.
R.I.P.
That good at 23... holy shit. Shame he didn't get to do more.
I faintly remember this as a kid, so thanks for bringing it back around. That black and white art is insanely good. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to give up ever attempting drawing because it's so good.
Loved Cybernary so hard when I was a kid. Thanks for reminding us of the magic of Nick Manabat's work. Did not know he passed. 😢
Wow, I loved that - I didn't know Nick and I'm heartbroken. Great memorial, RIP, Nick!
Thank you so much for doing this video! I always love his art on the Cybernary. Hopefully more of his work surfaces some day
Wow, thanks for pulling out Cybernary! I’d forgotten how good the art was. What a heartbreaking story, at least he made something beautiful and live a dream, wow.
Also, thanks for being cool to my nephew at Heroes Con, he had a blast and I think we got a comic artist in the works. Much love, fellas.
I was just saying in Shelby Robertson's chat yesterday that I was looking at this while watching. I had no idea this would be today's kayfabe video.
RIP Manabat. Inspirational work
Jewels like this get lost in the total non-sense that was Image comics in the 90s. I have the Deathblow books (at least the first one) at my parent's house and I haven't picked it up since I first bought it. When I was digging through my collection a few months ago I skipped over it, assuming it was just more Image fluff. Now I need to grab it next time I'm over there! Thanks guys!
Manabat's art has elements of what I was seeing coming out of England in the 90s-- Marvel UK, 2000 AD, etc. But there was some of Jae Lee's stuff.
I had heard about Manabat and Cybernary, but don't remember seeing any of it on the shelves at the time.
Cheers for this, I bought the first copy of Deathblow and carried on just for Cybernary, it was exactly what I wanted to see
Whilce Portacio and Filbars comics at Robinson's Galeria held a contest to draw a character and possibly get it published. I saw Nick Manabat's entry, it was called "Musang" (Philippine wild civet cat) and everyone there knew he's going to win. It was amazing.
Man, his work makes me want to draw so bad! What incredible, advanced stuff at such a young age. What a loss.
From my country, Chile, in the mid 90s I asked for comics via catalog and when I saw the Deathblow magazine I found that work by Cybernary. I loved the style and when I read that its artist had died from that sad illness it made me very sad. almost my age. To this day I remember his name and artistic legacy.
Great video lads! Like most when I was a kid I picked this up for Jim Lee's Deathblow and stayed for Nick Manabat's Cybernary. Blew my mind as a kid and still does to this day.
A comic called Deathblow; where 3 of the creators of the book died too early. Gerber, Sale and the great Nick M.
It is amazing how you described his work exactly how I remember it. I was excited to get Jim Lee's Deathblow but quickly forgot about it when I was introduced to Nick Manabat's work. My mind was blown. His work was visionary and has influenced me in my work. I was also was into the dark late 80's early 90's anime and his work paralleled these movies. Broke my heart when I read what happened to him. Great content and video. KUDOS!
Unfortunately, I had never heard or seen the name Nick Manabat until I watched this video. I don't think his work was ever published here in Brazil, and access to imported editions of Image wasn't easy to get by at the time. But watching the video, I fell in love with his work. I have already purchased a few editions I found online, and I can't wait to be able to appreciate his work firsthand. Thank you once again, Ed and Jim, for showcasing amazing artists that I still need to discover.
Jeez. Just damn. I remember back then instantly worshipping Manabat. Still do.
One of the most looked at books in my collection. Nick's art inspires and I think the art in Deathblow was Jim's best work. Worthy of an artist edition.
Guys, thanks so much for focusing on Nick Manabat. His talent has always amazed me, and his early death still breaks my heart.
RIP Nick M and Steve G ❤
Damn, this looks so much better in black & white. I'd buy an edition of the whole run in that format in a heartbeat.
As a Jim Lee fan, Cybernary was the only reason to pick up Deathblow.
I remember obsessively re-reading Cybernary as a 12 YO just because of the art. This guy was destined to become one of the greats.
I enjoy his art! I probably have these but never flipped the book. Thanks!
Striking pages, probably could have been a superstar if not for his illness, but still a great achievement to stand above the crowd with what like 30-40 comic pages total.
Wow!!
Yeah I remember being excited about Deathblow and it sucked. Nick Manabat was the star of those comics! So sad he passed so young. Would have loved to see more of his work.
Very impressive stuff.
Never heard of Manabat, but have much respect for the Filipino comic artists. (Gerry Talaoc is my favorite.) Gerber and Manabat. I may need to hunt these down. Thanks, gents.
this is my first time seeing anything other than issue 1 but damn i definitely remember issue 1 clear as day after 30 odd years. to me he was homages Stephen Platt
as a kid him and jae Lee's style really inspired me
When I saw this art for the first time, I thought "This guy is going to be one of the greats." Very sad that he never got the chance.
Can you show some Carlos Esquerra Art ....(Bloody Mary / Just a Pilgrim)... Gritty Hard Boiled Stuff with Heart!
I have this book. Been wanting someone to review it
Finally!!!
RIP Nick Manabat
What is the Artist Edition produced by some Facebook group that Jim mentioned?
Luv the outsider stuff!!!
Does Nick's family still own Cybernary?
Cybernary Dc own character
Wildstorm like everything else that was at image is creator owned
Hi there . What a loss for culture . For ca. 20 it is not real . Greetings from Germany
