J. Torres and Elbert Or celebrate 10 years of Lola: A
Ghost Story, the critically-acclaimed graphic novel that explores family, grief
and Filipino folklore in an all-new edition that includes a revised ending and\nupdated illustrations.
Jesse didn't really know
his Lola (the Tagalog word for grandmother), but he remembers that she tried to
drown him as a baby. Strange stories surround Lola: she had visions, she fought
off monsters straight out of Filipino folklore, and, according to some, she may
have even seen ghosts.
Now Jesse is struggling
with the same visions Lola had, but Lola's not around anymore, and the rest of
his family are too tied up in their own personal demons to help. Personal demons
that Lola might have helped with, if she were still alive. As Jesse explores his
new abilities, he realizes that he might be the one who needs to step into that
role-and that helping others might just help him, too.
