One of the most famous writers of all time, George Orwell's life
played a huge part in his understanding of the world. A constant
critic of power and authority, the roots of Animal Farm and
Nineteen Eighty-Four began to grow in his formative years as a
pupil at a strict private school in Eastbourne. His essay Such,
Such Were The Joys recounts the ugly realities of the regime to
which pupils were subjected in the name of class prejudice,
hierarchy and imperial destiny. This graphic novel vividly brings
his experiences at school to life. As Orwell earned his place
through scholarship rather than wealth, he was picked on by both
staff and richer students. The violence of his teachers and the
shame he experienced on a daily basis leap from the pages,
conjuring up how this harsh world looked through a child's innocent
eyes while juxtaposing the mature Orwell's ruminations on what such
schooling says about society. Today, as the private school and
class system endure, this is a vivid reminder that the world Orwell
sought to change is still with us.
A new brand of superhero from the rich lore of Philippine myth! In
this spellbinding action-adventure from Arnold Arre--the great
master of the graphic novel, the age-old divide between good and
evil widens. Catch a glimpse of a Manila privy to only a few of the
supernatural and magically inclined, while following a superhero
born and raised by its streets in The World of Andong Agimat. In a
world yearning for stability, a renegade force arrives, spreading
chaos amidst the populace in the form of a gruesome plague. This is
when the world needs Andong Agimat--an ex-gang leader turned
vigilante with superpowers bestowed unto him by his mysterious
amulet. He cooperates with the police and helps them keep Manila's
underground, steeped-in magic and the supernatural, in check, but
the people of Manila live in growing fear as acts of terrorism are
committed by a cult growing within the city. Follow Andong as he
uncovers this violent cult's scheme, which threatens the very
balance of the world. He trudges through the underbelly of Manila,
teaming up with old friends, and even old rivals, to put an end to
this cult's evil plans. Can Andong Agimat and his talisman's secret
powers repel the forces of chaos?
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population
manifested superpowers called Quirks at age four? Heroes and
villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would
mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study?
The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one
of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless? Middle school student
Izuku Midoriya wants to be a hero more than anything, but he hasn't
got an ounce of power in him. With no chance of ever getting into
the prestigious U.A. High School for budding heroes, his life is
looking more and more like a dead end. Then an encounter with All
Might, the greatest hero of them all, gives him a chance to change
his destiny...
