His wife,Tina, said her husband's age is 79, not 71 as news sites have reported. Mang Tony did not want to disclose his real age when he was still alive.
He is the first Filipino artist to work for the so-called “Big Two” in comics publishing, Marvel and DC Comics. The Los Angeles-based artist is also best known for co-creating “Jonah Hex,” a disfigured Western anti-hero and “Black Orchid,” a bullet-proof superheroine. In 1978, he flew back to the Philippines to scout for Filipino comic book artists. He has helped aspiring Filipino creators and artists pursue their dreams, and has participated in events that helped flood victims this recent years.
Mang Tony will surely be missed and will never be replaced.
The wake will be held at the Heritage Park at Taguig starting 10 AM tomorrow, Saturday, May 12, 2012 until Tuesday, May 15, 2012. He will be cremated.
