Pablo S. Gomez
In 1949, he started his writing career submitting prose works in publications such as Liwayway, Bulaklak, Aliwan, and Sinag-Tala. After that, he started as a proofreader then rose to editor of Ace Publications' serials like "Hiwaga Komiks". He was at the same time writing komiks stories for Ace Publications, which was then starting out with only two komiks titles: "Pilipino Komiks" and "Tagalog Klasiks". Some of the stories he created here were signed using his pen name, Carlos Gonda. "Apat na Taga", his first komiks novel, was such an instant hit that movie giant Sampaguita Pictures turned it into a movie in 1953.
