After Eden | Reality About Life

11.29.2018 – It’s been seven months since the new edition of After Eden was released. When it was launched at Summer Komikon 2018 I was still in South Australia and wasn’t aware that it would be re-released again. I’ve seen a browser’s book copy of the first edition at former Power Books along Arnaiz Avenue (formerly Pasay Road) that was tattered in beat up from being read by so many people. I couldn’t find the original book at that store as this one has already been sold out. The first edition was published by a different publisher and it sported a colorful cover. Chamber Shell Publication which is Arnold Arre’s current publisher for this book and other works like The Mythology Class, Trip to Tagaytay, Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat, Martial Law Babies, and his current work Halina Filipina has been gracious enough to contact me while I was living overseas. But I haven’t had the chance to read the book until a got back a few months ago. Thanks to Kartoonista for keeping the book for me while I was away, who actually have the original edition as well as merchandise like mugs and shirts that were sold at Comic Quest back in the day. The new edition now comes in pink matte color with one of the angels from the original edition that used to be seated with her guitar in the bench at the park that is now seated on the floor strumming that guitar.
