Sonny Trinidad is one of the all-time great illustrators in Philippine comics history. As one of Marvel Comics' mainstay Conan artists in the early 1970s, Trinidad proved himself one of the favorite Filipino artists of the great John Romita Sr.(then editor of Marvel Comics) and John Buscema, whose pencils he frequently inked over.

This present gallery of Conan pin-ups, Sarkhan, barbarians, and women warriors, is actually a preview of the forthcoming portfolio of Trinidad comic art to be published later this year.

woh... I never knew Sonny Trinidad rendered this way... I think what i almost see from his works during the 80's was the love story drawings which some looked hurriedly done.

Another great revelation. andami ko nang natututunan rito dennis.

Oo nga pala, meron kabang big scans sa pi-nost mong mga drawings ni Emilio Rodriguez? gusto kong pag-aralan yong mga detalye. ito'y hindi para kopyahin kundi para matuto. I like the line variations most.
