Abstract

ABSTRACT: This article recovers the work of Filipino comics artists. More accurately, it builds a history of their working conditions. Focusing on the case of Nestor Redondo, this article deliberately foregrounds the issues of labor, migration, and artists' rights in the US comic book industry. It examines the work of Filipino comics workers through the lens of racial capitalism, linking the experiences of Redondo and his peers to the broader histories of the globalization of Filipino labor. As such, it highlights the racial and colonial dimensions of labor in the comics industry and recognizes that histories of comics go hand in hand with histories of labor.
