Sergio Aragonés is certainly notably knwon for having won every major comics awards, which includes the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben Award, and the Will Eisner Hall of Fame Award. Not to forget, he signed one of the souvenir copies of WonderCon 2008 programe, which you cans see in this article.
Louder Than Words is a black and white six-issue wordless humor released from July to December 1997. We picked up the complete series at the Comic Odyssey booth during the recently concluded Komikon 2010, which featured up-and-coming indie komiks, as well as known Filipino artists who are making names in the international scene.
Though not updated with Sergio Aragonés current works, we try as much as possible to catch up. We've only seen a few issues of Groo The Wanderer. and The Mighty Magnor, one would burst into laughter due to Aragonés humorous style of storytelling through his detailed illustrations.

There were no main characters unlike his previous works, but Louder Than Words definitely reminded us of a similar artist in Filipino Illustrator in Larry Alcala's work on The Slice of Life, where there were a lot details in one strip for you find the beaturty in so much detail that it's overwehlingly good. Comical as it is, LTW can be said, as one the comic books ever to be read that is definitely wmore on visual than a thoughr bubble or a word ballon. But visually aided with his signature artwork.
Its a fun alternative to get a goo read from the usual gritty comics that we see these days. Louder than Words gives us it's own version of Slice of Life, that we missed in the great Larry Alcala, who passed away way back in 2002.
this is one of my favorite comic books in high school. got all the 6 copies. now, can't find where i put it. i wanted for my kids to read these but it's too pricy to buy and cant find copies here in our country anymore.
