Three Men and a Lady

Thunder Illustrated Magasin was an all-action anthology from the late 1980s in the Philippines. The two regular superhero features in its pages was Altaru and Sapot ni Gagamba Kasama si Scorpio. Altaru was newly created for the comic at that time, but Gagamba and Scorpio were characters who originally debuted in the 1960s.

Eel Versus Spider

Time to showcase some Philippine comics characters! Palos (Eel) is a thief with a heart of gold, robbing from the bad guys to give to the needy. Gagamba (Spider) is a masked crimefighter in the vein of pulp characters like, well, The Spider. Both debuted in separate stories in the weekly anthology Tagalog Klasiks, co-created by brothers Virgilio and Nestor Redondo. Both were also very popular at the time (the '60s) and spawned numerous sequels and movies. Later on, both of them headlined their own titles (Palos Komiks and Gagamba Komiks), a rarity in the Philippines, where most titles are anthologies.
