ABLAZE is proud to present two outstanding graphic novels by acclaimed Filipino cartoonist and three-time National Book Awardee Manix Abrera. With his 'silent' storytelling- dependent on illustration to direct story and movement- Abrera truly demonstrates the heart and soul of the comics medium. This bundled set comes to you at a special price. In '12-' Abrera tells twelve genuinely touching stories- each story with its own charm and intriguing twists - a young man spends his entire life searching for answers but shock awaits when he finally gets that eureka moment; someone finds love that unexpectedly finds somebody else; two men argue over who goes first on an escalator; a mother and daughter fight over a cockroach; a drunk man urinates on a tree and gets a big surprise - making you wonder how these mundane plots can turn out so bizarrely- prompting you to reflect and crave for more! In '14-' a man who mysteriously discovers a 13th floor in his building and finds himself in the middle of a storytelling session among different mythological creatures of Philippine folklore. Together with a partying crowd of supernatural beings- he listens to stories narrated by creatures such as the Manananggal- Diwata- Tikbalang- Kapre- Tiyanak- and even by a White Lady and a Doppelganger.
