Dyesebel
DYESEBEL
Written by Mars Ravelo
Illustrated by Elpidio E. Torres
Pilipino Komiks, 1952-1953
The story of Dyesebel begins when an amnesiac mermaid-turned-human named Lucia fell in love with a human. They got married and had a beautiful baby, but instead of human baby she delivered a mermaid. The child is called “Dyesebel”. Although surprised by their daughter’s strange form, Lucia and her husband Tino promise to love their child no matter what. But in no time at all, their neighbors discovered the couple’s secret. When the community is hit with a series of catastrophes, the town believes that the anomaly is caused by Dyesebel; an accusation that leads to Tino’s death and Lucia to offer her only daughter to the sea, where she would belong.
Unknown to Lucia is that in the heart of the sea, Dyesebel’s adventures and misfortunes will begin. It is within the confines of the waters that Dyesebel will lead a new life-a journey that would take her to the depths of the sea, as well as to chaos of the city. Dyesebel discovers that she can also be a human being by visiting Amafura to get a secret necklace which makes her a human; but a price must be made, for her to sacrifice her true possession, in order to gain something special.

BONDYING
Written by Mars Ravelo
Illustrated by Elpidio E. Torres
Pilipino Komiks, 1953-1954
Bondying was orphaned at an early age and was reared by his grandparents Impong Tisya ang Ingkong Teroy. Bondying grew up possessing a great physique, but there was one problem: he had the mind of a child, talks like a child, dresses like a child, and even carries his big bottle of milk everywhere he goes! Impong Tisya loves his grandson just the same, and follows his every whim, to the great dismay of Ingkong Teroy, who hoped that his grandson would become a real man someday. Despite Bondying’s condition, he was actually very intelligent and can solve problematic situations normal people will find impossible to solve. In the end, Bondying will prove that he, too, can become a hero and can earn the love of the kind and pretty Flora.
