What better way to start the NEW YEAR
2011 than with a
BANG!
And no,we're not talking about that annoying TV HOST/JUDGE/COMEDIAN? on
ABS!
We're talking about
BOMBAS...
KAPTAIN BOMBAS that is!
Yehesss..today's character profile will center on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA'S very own
shell-headed superhero.Kaptain Bomba or KB.First appeared on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA DOS
pg.35,2007
Designed and created by
DARK CHAPEL after attending
U.P.'s PASKO NG KOMIKS,
A small symposium/gathering/forum of veteran and aspiring artistses.
It is at
Claro M. Recto Hall, UP Faculty Center where
Dark Chapel would learn the
importance of creating superhero type characters and the social and financial
benefits involved with it later on.
 |
| LAMEEEE! |
On an earlier sketch of
Kaptain Bomba, he was slated to appear as a pun of
JAMES BOND (
james bomb!Yes, pretty lame,
WE KNOW!)
 |
| It's not me,it's YOU...YOUTUBE! |
The idea was scrapped as soon as
THIS more updated sketch came out.
A more "
HEROIC" version of the
Kaptain would later surface but the design was a little
bit too dark for a hero and the
Kaptain looked more like a villain at this point in time.
KAPTAIN BOMBA or
ANTONIO STORK was a clumsy company messenger. A job in which he would get fired and walk the walk of shame on his way home. Along the lines, his bad luck would be at an all time high when he would get smashed by a carrening meteor. A meteor containing a slab of stone.The stone that would later turn him from the wimpy messenger to the extremely buff hero
KAPTAIN BOMBA. On a constant basis the
Kaptain was the prime example of heroism in
STAR CITY as he is in constant battles with law offenders and the casual lizard monsters and various villainous plots by the ever scheming
DR. AKARI.
For those who aren't in the know and couldn't catch a hint.
KAPTAIN BOMBA was (of course) heavily inspired by
MARVEL's very own
THE INVINCIBLE IRON MAN.
And
Dark Chapel's version was a tribute to the
JACK "THE KING" KIRBY's cartoon version of
IRON MAN and parody theathrics by
DEXTER'S LAB'S :
THE JUSTICE FRIENDS.
And since the movie version of the said comics adaptation was released within the same year.
the poor
Kaptain's original color scheme(
RED+YELLOW=IRON MAN-ish colors) was changed in order
to distance itself and to lessen the cause of unessecarry confusion with the two characters.
 |
| Mellow Yellow! |
Only the chest part retained the said
YELLOW color scheme while the rest of the body
went from being gray or for a lack of a better color scheme,it was left white.
Chapel would later on opted for a more
SPIDERMAN-ish color but the said color combination was a little too dark for the
character. A more
CAPTAIN PLANET-ey color theory was put into works and the rest shall we say was
HISTORY.

From one CAPTAIN
to another KAPTAIN |

| Palette Swapped Bombas |
The
Kaptain Bomba's series would later on come out alternately with
THE MISSEDADVENTURES
OF BUNNY-PON(or just
BUNNY-PON).The second issue would later on appear on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA KWATRO
pg.30,2009
Now a new villian was introduced.
Still within the confines of spoofing famous characters.Two other SPIDER-MAN
villians would be put in to play.
MYSTERIO
&
THE LIZARD
Kaptain Bomba would have a short appearance on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA 5's SUPPLEMENT ISSUE.Wherein he could be seen singing with
PHIL VIRGIN.This marks as the very first time
Kaptain Bomba would appear in a scene other than his series and in an appearance in "
the king"'s signature style.
pg.3,2009
Kaptain Bomba would later on appear on the cover of
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA 5.5 alongside with
two other characters(
ONI NADEGIRI & BUNNY-PON) or more cleverly known as
TEAM CHAPEL.
Where in a more humorous and less gallant version of the
Kaptain was showcased.
pg5,2010
Within the line of superhero-dom, another superhero was introduced within the said issue. It would be none other than the very famous,
ANGRY MAN by "
the king"
Kaptain Bomba would once again appear(
on the cover and on his series) of
SILENT
SANCTUM MANGA SAIS.
Silent Sanctum Manga's latest offering.Where major changes would be made since this marked
as the very first issue that the kaptain bomba series would appear in 2 pages as to the
standardized one pagers as set in kaptain's earlier komiks.Here we see the epic battle
between a mutated
PROF.MOLDEX and
KAPTAIN BOMBA.A series so big it had to be seperated onto
two parts.Part 2 would come out on
SILENT SANCTUM MANGA OTSO.
Kaptain Bomba would later on appear on numerous pixel drawings.
And enjoy his stay on the world wide web.
Kaptain Bomba would later on be
RE-INVENTED,RE-PAINTED and RE-MODELED.
Plenty more titles are in the works and alternate universes are said to surface
within the year. Among the titles on the works are
 |
| My Bomba Senses Are Tengaling! |
KAPTAIN BOMBA : 2099
BOMBA OF THE FUTURE
KAPTAIN BOMBA UNLIMITED
It truly has it's benefit being
HARD HEADED,well for starters,
you get to star in your own komik book.
Act all foolish and stuff,and do a collaboration with the man "
FREELY ABRIGO"
 |
| It's a HIF-HOF rap battle,yo! |
Life certainly has been good for the
KAPTAIN.And we are bound to see more
of him in the weeks and months to come.
So raise those shell heads and fire away.
!!!EXCELSIORZ!!!
