Malang Santos is a cartoonist and painter from Manila. He joined the Manila Chronicle as a staff artist in 1947. For this paper, he created the daily comic strip 'Kosme the Cop', which was the first local strip amongst the American strips. After a couple of months, the character retired from duty, and became known as 'Kosme the Cop (retired)'. Malang then launched 'Chain Gang Charlie', as well as 'Belzeebub' for Pageant magazine. He was assistant editor for Bituin Komiks by F.J. Quiogue Publication, for which he also drew 'Tikoy'. Santos eventually became well-known for his illustrations and for his advertising agency work throughout the country.
