Djair, The Creator of Jaka Sembung, Passed Away

RIP Djair Warni (13/05/1945-27/09/2016),  a popular comic artist.  He passed away today, 10am Indonesia time.
He created so many fictional characters which have been adapted into the big screen such as Jaka Sembung, Bergola Ijo (1983), Jaka Swara (1980), and Jaka Gledek (1983).


His works were adapted into so many #CrazyIndonesia films, including Jaka Sembung (The Warrior) series--Jaka Sembung Sang Penakluk (The Warrior, 1980) Si Buta vs Jaka Sembung (Blind Warrior vs The Warrior, 1983), Bajing Ireng dan Jaka Sembung (The Warrior vs Ninja, 1983),   Lebak Membara (Blazing Battle, 1982), Serbuan Halilintar (Special Silencers, 1982).

Some other awesome works:
Nyi Ageng Ratu Pemikat,1983,
Malaikat Bayangan,1988

You will be sorely missed....

Hi,
My name is Ekky Imanjaya. I am currently a postgraduate student at University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. I am now starting a research on Cult, Exploitation, and B Movies from Indonesia which produced between 1979 to 1995 during the oppressive regime called Orde Baru alias New Order. And my research is limited to the films that dubbed into English and distributed globally by international distributor such as MondomacabroDVD, Troma Entertainment, Brentwood Home Video, Trash Online, etc.

If you are interested, please do read this blog and give some feedbacks. If you have any info about the topic, or you are also a devoted fans of those kinds of films, please do let me know and discus the issues here :). Thank you!

For this very first posting, I share one of the most epic fighting scenes of The Warrior a.k.a. Jaka Sembung.
