Manix Abrera's 12
Filipino comic artist and three-time National Book Awardee Manix Abrera, in cooperation with ABLAZE, presents "12".

Twelve remarkable stories, weird and surreal, thought-provoking yet funny,
sometimes disturbing, others terrifying, but nonetheless always enchanting.

Twelve genuinely touching stories, all drawn in Manix’s simplistic style,
devoid of words, but communicate loudly and resonate wildly with your emotions.

Each story presents itself in its own charm, with intriguing twists – a young man spends his entire life searching for answers but shock awaits when he finally gets that eureka moment; someone finds love that unexpectedly finds somebody else; two men argue over who goes first on an escalator; a mother and daughter fight over a cockroach; a drunk man urinates on a tree and gets a big surprise – making you wonder how these mundane plots can turn out bizarrely, prompting you to reflect and crave for more!

One story reveals a mysterious horror encountered in gloomy desolate highways. Another shows how some group of scientists acquire superpowers because someone hesitated to dissect a frog. A young girl attaches her eyes to a balloon so she can look for her mother above a crowd.

What is the meaning of life? Is finding happiness worth it when you lose what really matters the most? Would you even know what matters the most?
Embrace pain and sorrow. Hope for love and will for hope.

Manix Abrera’s 12 breaks all language barriers in the world of storytelling, but cuts straight into your soul, touches your heart in several dimensions you can and cannot imagine. Allow this collection of wordless comic stories speak to you in your own voice and transport you into a whole new exciting universe, at your own pace and power.
