I was once told that it came to a point where a huge number of Filipinos read our locally made comics. It flourished from the 1950’s but unfortunately its audience gradually decreased as time went by. Darna, Combatron, Superdog, Panday, Dyesebel do we still remember them? And if we do, do we really know them? A group of comic creators who call themselves Frances Luna III Illustration Firm, or FL3 for short, felt that they wanted to make a little tribute to one of our classical comic characters by devising a fan fiction not only to have fun making comics but also to give more significance to the old as they strive to make it gain a whole new appreciation from the character's potential audience. Inspired by Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre’s work on Darna Lives!, the collaboration is written by RH Quilantang (Manila Man, Goodbye Rubbit, Hipon Gamay), drawn by Aaron Felizmenio (Gwapoman 2000, MA:1081-GCWW) and colored by Wan Mañanita (Ang Morion, Unos Mundos, MA:1081-GCWW). These three are firm believers that there is instant joy in creatingcomics. We hope you’d enjoy reading our little tribute!

Wasap! Sana na enjoy niyo ang aming ginawang fan fiction. Pagpaparangal sa kababaihan ang dahilan kung bakit ko ginawang babae si Captain Barbell sa version naming ito. Naisipan ko din siyang bigyan ng imba na mentor, si Valentina! Dito kasi sa fan fiction na ito, sinundan namin yung gawa nila Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. Yung sa kanila tumanda si Narda, dito sa amin dedbol na si Tenteng. Tapos… tapos… ah basta sikret muna. =))
