Volume 1 - 1st printing. "The Janus Silang and the Creature of Tabon!" Based on the Story by Edgar Calabia Samar. Adapted by Carljoe Javier and Mervin Malonzo. Art and cover by Natasha Ringor and Mervin Malonzo. Adapted from the Philippine National Book Award-winning novel. Janus is like most teenagers-he argues with his parents, wishes he had a girlfriend, and is obsessed with video games, especially one where the players fight against monsters from Philippine folklore. It's all very ordinary, until one day when everything falls apart. During an online tournament at a local internet cafe, all the players fall dead, save for Janus. The horror deepens as the deaths multiply across the country and Janus is contacted by a stranger, a survivor of the tournaments like himself, who asks to help solve the mystery. Along the way, Janus discovers a hidden truth in the game he has been playing and its connection with a nightmarish creature from the ancient caves of Tabon that threatens to destroy everything he holds dear. Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 176 pages, full color. Cover price $14.99.
