The Mythology Class: Where Philippine Legends Become Reality (A Graphic Novel)
Arnold Arre
Immerse yourself in a high-stakes fantasy adventure set in the Philippines!
This Philippine National Book Award-winning graphic novel fuses Philippine myth and magic with contemporary action. Borrowing elements from The Lord of the Rings and The Phantom Tollbooth, author and creator Arnold Arre reinvents age-old Filipino fables, constructing a rich world of folklore fantasy for a new generation.
Perfect for fans of the Trese graphic novels and the manga of Junji Ito, The Mythology Class follows Nicole Lacson, an Anthropology student at the University of the Philippines. When she is summoned to a secret meeting by the mysterious Madame Enkanta, Nicole finds herself face-to-face with living creatures from Philippine mythology and folklore that she never imagined existed in real life! Tikblangs, kapres, and a range of engkantos-fantasy figures from her grandfather's bedtime stories-challenge her previous notions of reality.
With her newfound friends, Nicole embarks on a quest into a realm of myth and magic. Navigating the streets of metropolitan Manila, a ragtag crew of college students takes an unexpected turn in their battle against an ancient evil. With guest appearances from mythological Filipino heroes like Sulayman, Kubin, and Lam-ang, Nicole's class must face down and repel an invasion of chaotic forces, recapturing the enkantos who have escaped and are unleashing mischief and evil in the human world.
The Mythology Class features world-building of the highest order, balancing the scope and magnitude of an adventure epic with the humor, warmth, and insight of a classic coming-of-age tale.
