The Tuttle edition will be released in August. The book won the Philippine National Book Award in 2000, the first comic book to do so. The new releases also include The Mythology Class by Arnold Arre, a foundational work of contemporary Filipino comics (or “komiks,” as they’re called in the Philippines).
