	Alfredo Alcala
		Alfredo Alcala was born in the Philippines on August 23, 1925.
		Before the year was out, Alfredo Alcala was in the pages of Ace Publications, the largest publisher in the Philippines, and well on his way to becoming a mainstay of their line of comics — for reasons of quantity as well as quality.
		Alcala's transition to drawing for the American market began in the early seventies when an intermediary arranged for a group of artists in the Philippines to sell work to DC Comics.

	Philippine News Online: Alfredo Alcala: an artist’s artist
		Alcala’s work eventually began gracing the pages of DC’s horror/ mystery titles, where his talent for moody, atmospheric environments and textures seemed to come alive, as opposed to the vibrant colors of the superhero set.

		Inker is probably not the correct term to describe the work Alfredo Alcala has done for Conan over John Buscema, specially after seeing personally how loose John's pencils can be.
		It is possibly the looseness of John's pencils that enabled not only Alfredo but many Filipino artists like Ernie Chan and Rudy Nebres to finish the pages given to them leaving a strong impression of their personal identities as artists.
		Finisher is probably a better term for it is actually what Alfredo did, and being an enormously talented artists himself, he brought a lot of himself in many of the inking projects that he did.

		In the early 1970's, the work of Nester Rodondo, Tony de Zuniga, Alfredo Alcala, and others graced the pages of some of DC Comics' publications, wowing readers.
		Alfredo Alcala, in particular, was a true original, whose ornately detailed landscapes and clothing textures echoed the turn-of-the-century illustrations of J.C. Leyendecker.

		A harbinger of doom has been released with the sole charge of waking an evil beyond comprehension, and Swamp Thing, John Constantine, Deadman, the Phantom Stranger, Etrigan, the Spectre and other masters of the occult must unite against a dark force which threatens to eradicate Heaven's light.
		This classic saga by the legendary creative team of Alan Moore, Stephen Bissette, John Totleben, Stan Woch, Rick Veitch, Ron Randall and Alfredo Alcala continues the evolution of Swamp Thing from a mire-dwelling man-monster to a powerful elemental being with the potential to exceed the bond of the Earth itself.

		This time, he was rewarded with strong work from Mark Texeira and Alfredo Alcala.
		This was around the time Alcala was glorifying Rick Veitch's pencils in Swamp Thing, and his work here is on the same level.
		It seemed like a book the company wasn't really enthusiastic about, but continued to publish almost as a reflex, until somebody looked around one month, realized it was still there, looked at a sales report, and didn't like what they saw.

		Alcala was recruited to DC Comics in 1972 by editors Carmine Infantino and Joe Orlando, and Filipino artist Tony de Zuniga.

	Graphic novel review - Hellblazer: Original Sins - Jamie Delano, John Ridgway, Alfredo Alcala
		John Constantine first appeared in Alan Moore's run on the Swamp Thing series as an incidental character, injecting a little bit of the Cockney wide-boy into Swamp Thing's Americana.
		Ridgway's art is scratchy and downbeat, becoming cleaner with the addition of Alfredo Alcala in the last couple of chapters.
		It's the only selection of this run of stories to make it into a collected edition, but that makes it all the more interesting to fans on the look-out for the development of Constantine's character.

		We all know the Private Eye, the tough, wise-cracking Knight Errant of the cut streets, beating his own lonely path to justice, even if he has to sidestep or bend the law.
		"Trouble is my Business" by James Rose, Lee Moyer and Alfredo Alcala is a more traditional tale with the conventions we've come to expect: rich, corrupt men, chauffeurs who pack heat, hoods lurking in the shadows, a cool femme fatale out of a Howard Hawks movie, and a mounting bodycount.
		Reading these adaptations may not be the same as reading the prose originals, but they do show you in visual terms the appeal of Chandler's stories, and of the genre itself.

		Once upon a time a Man called Alan Moore wrote Swamp Thing for nearly four years but, back in 1987, gave up the title with issue 64.
		Rick Veitch was the poor bugger in question and, as choices go, it was not a bad one.
		It helped a lot that Alfredo Alcala stayed with the book - it was always a joy to see his work (sadly Alfredo died in April 2000 after a long battle with cancer).
