After Eden 2016 Edition — Out in April 16

Hi guys! As mentioned in the previous post, the 2016 edition of my graphic novel After Eden will be launched at Komikon 2016 on April 16, Saturday, from 9am-7pm at the Bayanihan Center in Pasig. If you’ve read the original that came out in 2002, you’ll find this issue to be a little different — there are a few scenes that I deleted to give way to new plot points. It also has a brand new cover:

After Eden by Arnold Arre

I also thought that the title logo could use some updating so I commissioned talented young calligrapher and designer Patrick Cabral for the beautiful redesign.

Other than that, I kept the essence of the story close to the original, just slightly tailored to this new literary landscape we’re in. :) For more information, please check out the After Eden section.



Hope you can check it out! Look for it in the Nautilus Comics booth. If you can’t wait til the Komikon, you may preorder the book until April  through Chamber Shell Publishing or via the “buy now” button above.

My new graphic novel Halina Filipina — my first title since Martial Law Babies was released in 2008 — will have a launch and signing event at the Komiket on October 3, 2015 at Elements # Centris in Quezon City, thanks to  Nautilus Comics. You can purchase a copy at the event for a special introductory price of P350.00 (regular price is P395.00).

Halina Filipina graphi

Halina Mitchell is a half-Filipino half-American New Yorker who visits the Philippines for the first time to meet her relatives. Here she also encounters Cris, a struggling film critic whose passionate loathing for bad local movies reflects his views of modern Filipino society.

Coming from completely different worlds, the two eventually learn from each other. Through Cris, Halina gets a quick course on Manila life, from driving through midnight traffic to listening to the Eraserheads, while she helps him gain a newfound appreciation of living in his own country.

From National Book Award-winning author Arnold Arre, creator of The Mythology Class, Martial Law Babies, After Eden, Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat, and Trip to Tagaytay comes Halina Filipina, a story about friendship, understanding, and love; about finding one’s identity and experiencing the joy of finally having a place to belong.

Mature readers | 200 pages, black & white | English and Tagalog

I guess it’s time to announce that I am working on a new graphic novel and it’s called “Halina Filipina,” to be released later this year under Nautilus Comics.

Halina Filipina graphic novel Arnold Arre

Technically it’s not really “new” since I began writing and drawing it way back in 2002. The story revolves around Halina, a Filipino-American girl who comes to the Philippines for a visit. Here, she meets a guy named Cris and with some help from him rediscovers her roots… That’s all I can say for now. :)

Some of you guys may already be familiar with “Halina Filipina” since Esquire Magazine gave an exclusive preview of a few pages in 2012. Early this year I decided to continue developing the story and I’m glad to say that it’s officially going to be my next graphic novel after “Martial Law Babies.”

Here is a 7-page preview Enjoy!
