Corky Trinidad original cartoon artwork

Corky Trinidad was the first Asian editorial cartoonist to be syndicated in the United States and the only Asian American editorial cartoonist at a major United States newspaper. Via syndication, Trinidad's work has appeared in non-U.S. periodicals such as the International Herald Tribune, Denmark's Politiken daily, the Buenos Aires Herald, the Manila Chronicle, and the now-defunct magazine Punch.

Trinidad's editorial cartoons were critical of Hawaii politicians as well as the Marcos dictatorship. A collection of his cartoons chronicling Marcos from his declaring martial law through his exile in Hawaii was published as Marcos: The Rise and Fall of a Regime.
