Mini Biography
Francisco V. Coching was born in January 29, 1919, to novelist Gregorio Coching and Juana Vicente, in Pasay City, Metro Manila. He dedicated his life to his family and to the art of writing and illustrating comics novels for four decades. Mainly a self-taught artist, Coching started with pen-and-ink drawings and later graduated to storytelling, via comics illustrations. His father was a novelist for a magazine, and Coching apprenticed at first. Under the tutelage of the acclaimed Tony Velasquez, creator the "Kenkoy" series, Coching's first serious work was "Bing Bigotilyo," created 1934. This was followed by "Marabini," a creation which was interrupted by the Pacific war. During the war, Coching joined the ROTC Hunters, enlisting in its guerrilla group called the Kamagong Unit. In 1944 Coching met and married Filomena Navales, who became his lifetime assistant in his craft. Coching's seventh creation was "Hagibis," which he created from 1947-1950. Loosely inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan," "Hagibis" proved to be so popular it was made into a film with Fernando Poe, Sr, and Coching followed it up with several sequels. "Hagibis" helped secure Coching's fame as an illustrating artist. From "Hagibis," through "Pedro Penduko" in 1954, to "Thor" in 1962 and "Tiagong Lundag" in 1966, through "El Vibora" in 1972, Coching continually churned out endless sagas of romance and adventure, of heroic exploits and mighty deeds that fed the popular imagination of the Filipino reader and movie-going audience. Coching was very prolific, credited with around sixty titles, and his works spanned a wide range, dabbling in mystery, fantasy, romance, adventure, mythology, folklore, horror, biography, sex, drama and comedy. Although from time to time he was inspired by foreign works like "Tarzan" and Louis L'Amour Western novels, Coching stuck close to Filipino local color, and today he is considered the "Dean of Filipino illustrators," his name revered in the same league as one reveres Balagtas and even Jos  MULA NOON HANGGANG NGAYON  Francisco V.
