After Lambana: A Graphic Novel Résumé

After Lambana: A Graphic Novel: Myth and Magic in Manila Eliza Victoria

Immerse yourself in a fantasy world of Filipino myth, magic, and supernatural suspense!

Lambana--the realm of supernatural fairies known as Diwata--has fallen, and the Magic Prohibition Act has been enacted. To add to his troubles, there's something wrong with Conrad's heart and only magic can prolong his life. He teams up with Ignacio, a well-connected friend who promises to hook him up with the Diwata and their magical treatments--a quest that's not only risky but highly illegal!

On the shadowy, noir-tinged streets of Manila, multiple realities co-exist and intertwine as the two friends seek a cure for the magical malady. Slinky sirens and roaming wraith-like spirits populate a parallel world ruled by corruption and greed, which Conrad must enter to find the cure he seeks. He has little idea of the creatures he will encounter and the truths to be revealed along the way. Will Lambana spill its secrets and provide the healing balm Conrad needs? Or will he perish in the process?

Fans of Neil Gaiman, Emil Ferris and Charles Burns will love this new graphic novel!

After Lambana reveals a version of Manila that is both deadly and magical. The stakes are high and the twists shocking, and vivid imagination brims on every page. Brought to life through Malonzo's evocative art and coloring, and Victoria's remarkable talent for pace and dialogue, After Lambana's mixing of urban noir and Filipino myth is original, unsettling, and deeply satisfying.-- Isabel Yap, author of Never Have I Ever: Stories
This bittersweet urban fantasy unfolds with satisfying layers, and carries pointed echoes of the current political climate in the Philippines. Readers will welcome the diversity it brings to the graphic novel and fantasy genre landscape. -- Publishers Weekly
