Summary

Zsazsa Zaturnnah is a comic book character created by Carlo Vergara, a graphic designer and illustrator based in the Philippines. Zsazsa Zaturnnah, or Zaturnnah, attracted considerable attention from Philippine media in the years following her first appearance and currently enjoys a cult fanbase.

Zaturnnah, a powerful and voluptuous female with large red hair and a muscular physique, is reminiscent of the DC Comics character Wonder Woman and the classic Filipino superhero Darna. The distinct difference is the sex and sexuality of her alter ego Ada, who is an effeminate homosexual male. The proprietor of a small-town beauty salon, Ada receives a stone that, when ingested, physically transforms him into Zaturnnah.

The character first appeared in the graphic novel "Ang Kagila-gilalas na Pakikipagsapalaran ni Zsazsa Zaturnnah" (The Spectacular Adventures of Zsazsa Zaturnnah), originally self-published in two parts in December 2002, with very limited distribution. When the graphic novel won a National Book Award in 2003, given out by the prestigious Manila Critics Circle, Vergara approached book publisher Visual Print Enterprises to compile the two parts into a single volume for distribution throughout the Philippines.

The graphic novel is being adapted into a stage musical by Tanghalang Pilipino, one of the top theater companies in the Philippines. The musical is slated to run at the Cultural Center of the Philippines in February 2006.

Huge stone

He actually swallows the magical stone? How can it be "huge"? Is it bigger than other normally swallowable objects? He has a dislocated jaw, like a snake?Yobmod (talk) 09:55, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the movie, it's about a 1/2 the size of a bowling ball. The swallowing is performed by questionable special effects. 24.110.88.176 (talk) 06:21, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Anyone familiar with the culture of Darna knows the answer to that. AKA yes.

There's no physical description (or even a guess) of how huge the Zaturnnah stone is (even comparison to a pumice stone (which is called panghilod since it was used for massages) proved null), but normal people (e.g. Dodong) cannot even accomodate the width of the stone into their mouths nor swallow (exception for Femina Suarestellar Baroux).

Ada can swallow the stone as a result of a dislocated jaw inflicted by one of his exes Lester punching him.
