Barring previous komiks adaptations of novels like Noli or El Fili, which other Filipino prose stories (novels/short fiction) would you like to see adapted into comics format? And by which creative team (either local or foreign, as you see fit)?

(I know most of you would rather see local creators just focus on original content, understandably. I'm just asking hypothetically...)

You might want to consider which Filipino prose novels actually lend themselves to a visual treatment.

I'd love to see F. Sionil Jose's entire Rosales Saga adapted with an illustration style appropriate to the era that the story takes place. So The Pretenders would resemble a Golden Age noir title, and Mass would read like the original Heroes For Hire, or Richard Dragon. No idea which creators would be most appropriate for it. Gerry Alanguilan, maybe? His period stuff is rather gorgeous.

Another novel i'd gladly read in comic form is Empire of Memory by Eric Gamalinda. That one's just packed with all sorts of potentially rich imagery: faux "lost" tribes, The Beatles' visit, alternate histories. Once again, i'm not sure who i'd pick to helm it, though i'm fairly certain it would work with an art style like Steve Dillon's. Or maybe Phil Jimenez. (Is he Pinoy?)

Empire of Memory, argh, I've been looking for that book for ages.

Anyways, Gamalinda's works can actually be adapted to Comics. Hard core and pagiging Speculative Fiction niya.

I think Short Stories can also be adapted into a compilation (artists and their interpretation of the story perhaps?).
