Introduction
I will always be a big Darna fan.Everything startred when i first saw my first movie"Lipad,Darna,lipad!" (Fly,Darna,fly!) i was so fascinated by the whole thing,Darna flying up in the sky and battling her foes.I totally fell in love with her.My late grandfather used to own a barber shop with a comics shop on the side,i remember going to his place and couldn't wait to check out Darna comics.Since then i followed Darna's adventures from comics,t.v and the movies.There was times that i ditched school just to see the old black and white Darna films on channel 7 "Sine sa siete" (Movies on 7) Channel 4 "Mga ginintuang ala-ala" (Golden memories) and also on channel 13.My favorite Darna movie is "Lipad,Darna,lipad!" (Fly,Darna,fly!) and iam hoping that one day someone will email me saying "oh,by the way i can get you a copy of your favorite Darna movie.It is also one of the reason why i have strived to put up this website with the help of Batmaster,Mike Virtucio and other Darna fans.Some of you know that there was a Darna website on on homepage.com ,but unfortunately that website has been shut down.Just like a real true super heroine, Darna rose again from the ashes.I hope that you will enjoy this website as much as we enjoy the long hard hours we put into making this site.I would like to thank all the people who helped make this project a reality. I personally dedicated this website to the late Mars Ravelo the father of the Pilipino comics and to all Darna fans out there.This website is your site too! so, enjoy and have fun.
Eric
