“I’ve watched Darna since I was a kid from Vilma Santos in the lead up to Jane De Leon’s TV version recently. Marian Rivera is the inspiration behind this painting. Darna is a Filipina superheroine created by writer Mars Ravelo and artist Nestor Redondo. One of the most popular Filipino superheroes, Darna has appeared in many films and several television series through the decades which have far overshadowed her actual comics tenure. “Ding, ang bato!”” |
