Lagim (meaning "dread" or "terror" in Tagalog[2]) is one of the first Filipino superhero characters in the Philippines. He was created by Filipino artist Cris CaGuintuan. Lagim's first appearance was in the pages of Pilipino Komiks #60 (ACE Publications) in 1947[3] or 1949.[4] His sidekick was a boy named Levy,[5] a young lad he saved in the past, and wore a costume similar to the uniform worn by Robin, the sidekick of the American superhero Batman.
