Praise for the book:
What makes Martial Law Babies […] poignant is how we all went through similar phases and know real people like the characters in the book. We can identify with situations. It brings back old feelings and memories that make us laugh, cringe in horror, and smile at the bittersweet taste of regret.
Arre, who masterfully wrote and drew this 288-page tome, is able to bring back an era that defined more than the generation that grew up at that time but also changed the way the country is.

MARTIAL LAW BABIES
Award-winning graphic novelist Arnold Arre takes us on a nostalgic trip through some of the Philippines’ most colorful and compelling eras — from the rigidness of pre-EDSA Manila to the dizzying, commercially-intoxicated world of the new millenium.
Allan and his friends are Martial Law Babies: born during the Marcos regime, raised by TV, and shaped by 80s music. Their ambitions may be dampened by third world realities and malcontention but they also proudly belong to a generation of dreamers who fight for their voices to be heard. They are among the so-called “Bagong Lipunan” children, trying their best to live up to their name. But over the years, as Allan watches his friends leave one by one and feels his sense of idealism wane, he starts to wonder where they are all headed.
