!!!!Bullet-Proofed!!!!

It has been a good 2 years since we last heard about the
CARLO J. CAPARAS - NATIONAL ARTIST fiasco!

Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Hopefully P-Noy doesn't let it happen again!

And here's a little warning for anyone who'd wanna nominate CARLO J. CAPARAS in the
said category.
Taste the rainbow,CARLO J!


GAME & WATCH!

As some kind of a support to the local movie industry.
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA is encouraging everyone in the METRO MANILA area to go watch
any of the METRO MANILA FILM FESTIVAL movies.

Now we don't want to promote any specific movie(so we'll just bash all of them!) but we think
ROSARIA and FATHER JEJEMON(if it actually airs) would be box office hits,
While the same could be said about AGIMAT at si ENTENG KABISOTE,it is a pretty solid
pairing.And you could count on(as always) "BOSSING" VIC SOTTO to bring the whole EAT BULAGA
cavalry and give them necessary and unecessary appearances in the movie.
RPG METANOIA looks promising we just don't like ZAIJAN's FACE!
Good thing it's an ANIMATION!

And we see the last of the TANGING INA franchise!
And quite frankly what's so bad in saying it like this:

"TANG-INA NIYONG LAHAT
MANOOD KAYO!"
We bet that would put a lot of seats on those
movie houses!

And last but not the least is the KRIS AQUINO movie entitled
FENGSHUISUKOBDALAWBITAY....something!
We have nothing to say about the movie but we'd wanna say why is she
"QUEEN OF ALL MEDIA",
when she's not even on our windows MEDIA player,nyuk nyuk...we know...it's a lame joke!

BUT SERIOUSLY...what gives man!
And with that in mind.
Here are our way of supporting the local movie scene.
By a montage(3 pictures worth of montage to be exact! )of FILIPINO KOMIK CHARACTERS turned
MOVIES!

!!!ENJOY!!!

www.facebook.com/silentsanctumanga

The GIF that keeps on GIF-ING!

Hurray for Silent Sanctum Manga GIFS!

FAQ us? FAQ you!













In this entry we would be more than happy to address the following matter regarding:
!!!SILENT SANCTUM MANGA!!!

WHAT IS YOUR DEAL WITH THE WORD "FAQ"?











FAQ came from the uberly geeky term FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.And based from that
the group had modified the word as a substitute for a similar word synonymous to a
CURSE WORD.The same concept they did for LOBO in DC COMICS.
The word had gained notoriety due to the various situations it had appeared in the
context of SILENT SANCTUM MANGA.
It appeared in the book : FAQ YOU, FAQ SHEET, FAQ'N BITSS!, MEET THE FAQKERS!and in the company SLOGAN : JUST FAQ IT!The SSM! artists are commonly known as FAQKEE while the ever loyal readers would be
refered to as the FAQKERS!...quite charming really!

NO NAMES,NO FACE, NO PROBLEM!












Silent Sanctum Manga takes pride of their founders and artistses by NOT showing the general
public how they look.It was a concsious decision eversince the early stages of SILENT SANCTUM
MANGA.Following the same concept of their rock idols KISS(both in the anti-image aspect and
for their logo) the group accepted the counter culture revolution as an integral part of being
SSM!
By not showing a FACE, or revealing a NAME.The readers would focus more on the works and
the stories rather than trying to picture out how members might look in the real world.
With bands like SLIPKNOT,MUDVAYNE ,etc.It's quite obvious that people enjoy that air of mystery
we offer them.And since no one was or is complaining the same pattern is still followed
up to this day.

YOUR NAZIS MAN,YOUR F'N NAZIS!!!

As mentioned above.We were strongly influenced by the band KISS.And we pretty much followed
the font style the marketing and everything to evoke that sense of KISS merchandising.We
strongly suggest that you leave all your preconceived notions and knowledge at the door since
it's no good here.We won't take them now,WE WON'T TAKE THEM EVER!
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA are not NAZIS.
WORLD WAR 2 is a thing of the past...HISTORY so to speak!Althogh the effects are undeniable
but clearly this has nothing todo with our book since we are a purely fictional manga.
Even the SUBLIMINAL CONTENT joke were all just a pun of the BACKMASKING trend during the 90's.
So don't expect any pseudo-satanism,pro-hitler,anti-semitic meaning behind the logo.
It is made to look like the KISS logo and KISS is what it's going for.Since then up untill now.

REALLY NOW?CARE TO EXPLAIN THE LIGHTNING BOLTS...NAZIS!

Ok we like something FLASHY.Something that would evoke that sense of "BEING IN THE MOMENT"
kinda feel.After much debate.We deicided on LIGHTNING BOLTS.
Because it's quick,it's snappy sounding and it kills!
Since ZEUS uses them...does that make him a NAZI?
Since SHAZAM! has one on his chest...does that make him a NAZI?
Since ELECMAN uses that power on MEGAMAN ....does that make him a NAZI...a ROBOT NAZI to be more exact!
Since MERALCO uses it on their logo...clearly they must also be NAZIS!
And since BLANKA uses it to torture people...he must definitely be a NAZI!
Clearly you can't just go on assuming things you know based on a first impression.
Silent Sanctum Manga artistses are all mild mannered,god fearing ,family loving,free hugs giving
individuals.Any associations to military and social parties are purely coincidental.
And the only reason why we don't (and can't)change these type of things are because
THE LOGO and THE NAME had all been COPYRIGHTED and changing it would cause us delays and
all that legal mumbo-jumbo we would be more than happy to live without!
So we're SILENT SANCTUM MANGA.With the SSes and the lightning bolts.
Take it or leave it you guys!

WHO CAN JOIN THE SILENT SANCTUM MANGA FAMILY?

ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE CAN JOIN!

Silent Sanctum Manga was formed out of the interest of creating a komik book that ACTUALLY
listened to their audiences.A raised finger to the ugly mug of corporate komik books.
Rather than try to pin pointing specific people.Silent Sanctum Manga
would try to include everyone and make them as much part of the book as the stories and
artistses themselves.
This is more often than not proven within the book for CUSTOMERS,COSPLAYERS,FRIENDS and even
random people who passed by our booth would get a chance to see their faces in our manga.
Everything we did we try to inlude the people that had help us get to where we are.
Be it a GREETING,a PICTURE OF THEIR ARMPITS,or even their hot GIRLFRIEND.We deliver.
Since why try to please the universe when you can't please a planet?

BIMONTHLY WHUT?

Ok we won't lie that we're not basically on time with coming out with every issue.
But we try to come up with atleast 3 issues a year.That's good enough for a company
running on every members weekly (read:minimum waged) salary.
And since Silent Sanctum Manga tries to provide all sorts of wacky gimmicks for all
it's readers,this doesn't mean getting them printed is just a walk in the park.
The creators/publishers and the artistses would most of the time have a BITE MORE THAN THEY
CAN CHEW.Meaning budget wise the book's earnings would more often than not be less that what
they actually spent on the project.So every issue of SILENT SANCTUM MANGA is actually
like giving you guys more MANGA for you BUCK!It's the gift that keeps on giving so to speak!

FLUCTUATING COVER PRICE

As mentioned earlier. The group would ALWAYS and we do mean ALWAYS put the CUSTOMER'S interest
first before anything else.Meaning that if the PRICE INCREASE isn't necessary the increase
wouldn't push thru.Every time changes would be made,a meeting would always be called in to
order and as much as possible SSM! would try to keep the price within the margin.Even if it
would meant sacrificing a lot and spending more money on our part.
No price is too great to keep all the loyal SSM! readers happy.

FANS = NO
READERS = YES


Grabbing on to a dictionary.You could immediately tell that the word "FAN" would imply that someone is
a FANATIC or FANATICAL about something.That is something we try to avoid as well when referring to our readers.
We simply just call them the FAQKERS or FRIENDS or generically READERS since our followers
are more than than.Their all intelligent individuals and we are thankful every issue
for their undying trust and support.

WHY SHOULD WE BELIEVE YOU AGAIN?

Because we won't tell you anything UNREAL.
Because we are not here to fob you with cheap tricks and gimmicks.
Because before we even gotten to this (whatever status is wherein right now)We were
also like YOU back then.
We had our fair share of being turned down by snobbish A-list artistses.
Having a total geek-out crush on someone.
And basically nerding out on a lot of things that others would consider childish and immature.
For trully SILENT SANCTUM MANGA is the book how the 90's otaku enthusiast would have lived.
An honest book for artists,con goers,greasy fanboys/fangirls and the regular pervy dudes.
A book for people who liked us dreamed of becoming big as well someday,sometime.
For REALITIES do come true,especially to people who worked really really hard on their dreams.
'coz after everything has been said and done.
THE SACRIFICES MIGHT BE HIGH,BUT SURELY ENOUGH THE REWARDS MUST DEFINITELY BE EVEN HIGHER.
So let's try to make this book the best darn book ever.A book about us by us.
WHO WOULD'NT WANNA SEE THAT??

WHO IS/ARE SILENT SANCTUM MANGA?

Silent Sanctum Manga originally were DARK CHAPEL, WACKY RODENT, BEACH HEAD and YUI OOKAMI.
The group was founded by both DARK CHAPEL & WACKY RODENT.
Additional rosters came in after the "INVASION ARC" that took place in SSM! ISSUE #4.
Newly acquired talents would include FRINKSTER, "the king", SAP GREEN, HACHI and regulars
like TRITANOCH and the very famous MICHAEL "KANAL" DAVID.












The roster is not limited by the 8 members alone for every issue would feature
a host of guest artistses and even a few artistses from abroad.

WHEN & WHERE DID SILENT SANCTUM MANGA became SILENT SANCTUM MANGA? (redundancy kills!)

DARK CHAPEL and WACKY RODENT knew each other after a small conversation that was made about a hit 90's NICKELODEON classic,ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE and after conversing(in full details)
about the ever notorious episode entitled "WACKY DELLY",the group was formed just like that.
With two members and back then without a name.The group looked more like a club than a
mob.They would soon enough find two more artist of the same interest,BEACH HEAD and YUI OOKAMI
were later on added to the group and which was still called ARCANE SANCTUM.

Silent Sanctum Manga became SILENT SANCTUM MANGA in the confines of the newly built BEATO ANGELICO
BUILDING
in UST (University Of Santo Tomas) RM 801,on an afternoon class (COMPO 2by SIR BONG C. DUCAT).The group was strongly motivated by the "GET PUBLISHED AD"
that was running back then on the comic book,CULTURE CRASH! More than the exposure,the
group was also enticed by the fact that getting published would also mean that they were
gonna get paid in cold hard cash.Something they cherished dearly since ART SCHOOL won't pay
themselves and canvases were eating huge chunks of their own allowance money.

The project was discontinued due to the fact that the people involved back then were
still too busy with school load and the early absence of YUI OOKAMI had left the group
pursuing other things.The manga was put on hold up untill everyone has graduated.
Fast forwarding to 2006.After joining an event entitled KOMIKON 2006.

The group got motivated and tried their darnest to draw,create,etc. a book good enough to
join KOMIKON 2007.
Thus SSM! ISSUE 1 was born.

WHY SILENT SANCTUM MANGA?
Because,quite frankly....WHY THE HELL NOT?From BLACK ARCANE to ARCANE SANCTUM.The group was immediately drawn to the word
SANCTUM and basically brainstormed a bunch of names up untill the name SILENT came abound
and what happened was pure MAGIC!

WHAT IS THAT THING YOU CALL A MASCOT OF A LOGO?THE ONE THAT LOOKS LIKE A BAG OF BONES?

Well quite frankly you have no idea how right you are on describing him as a bag of bones.
MALNOURISHED bag of bones would've been more acceptable,but your close enough.
Coz that mascot of a logo is called LOLO DEADHEAD(GRANDFATHER DEADHEAD)








And we usually show him in two ways.
THE DEAD



& THE ALIVE
(which we have a lot more pictures of apparently)
















Both ways similarly  good,it's just a matter of taste and opinion.
Lolo Deadhead symbolizes the company and artistses being BEYOND HUMAN.A state where
you are all about the art.This is where you leave your reality shoes and try to step in
to the cumphy slippers of SILENT SANCTUM MANGA.Leaving all your wordly and man made constraints
and stepping on to a world,our world to be exact.THE HOLY OF THE HOLIES so to speak.

HOW CAN I PURCHASE A COPY OF THIS INFERNAL BOOK?

That's easy!First and foremost you could try the two shops that were mentioned above.
SPUTNIK COMICS and COMIC ODYSSEY.But if you would trully wish to know the people behind
the avatars you would just had to join them in various comic book and book related
conventions that are happening all year long around the metro.
Or you could contact them and purchase a copy directly from them.(Metro Manila,Philippine area only)

Cellphone : 09196050009
E-mail : silent_sanctum@yahoo.com

They'd be more than happy to be of service to you.

HOW MUCH DOES A SILENT SANCTUM MANGA COST?

Currently it is priced @ PHP55.00.
Prices might only vary depending on the economic status of the country.
HOW MUCH OF THIS INFORMATION IS REAL?
EVERYTHING is true down to the last punctuation marks.The members of SILENT SANCTUM MANGA
would strictly tell you the TRUTH and NOTHING but the TRUTH.'Coz lying would make JESUS
CHRIST cry...and a crying god is the last thing SILENT SANCTUM MANGA would want on their
resume.

and now we're done introducing ourselves.
Y'all could just....
