Work-Life Balance

Benjamin Chee / Wayne Ree

320 pages

In a world where even the supernatural are faced with the super natural quandaries of ceaseless corporate commotions, Work-Life Balance: Malevolent Managers and Folkloric Freelancers expresses the familiar, yet often suppressed, sentiment of unbalanced modern-day work culture โ€“ anchored against the distinct backdrop of Southeast Asia.

Paul Levitz, DC Comics President & Publisher from 2002โ€“2009 said, โ€œThink youโ€™re stuck working with monsters in your office? Rรฉe and Cheeโ€™s Work-Life Balance takes a whole new look at the possibility, using an interesting text/comics balance rarely seen.โ€

Work-Life Balance uses a harmonious merger of comics and prose to delineate the dichotomous parallels between past and present, work and leisure, and self and community beyond the constraints of a single medium.

Paolo Chikiamco, Editor of Alternative Alamat anthology and Co-Creator of Mythspace, echoed, โ€œThe power of juxtaposition is one of the strengths of graphic novels, and here comics are placed alongside prose to further provide a layered tale of identity, culture, and how we choose to define ourselves. Wayne Rรฉe and Benjamin Chee have created a fine fantastical examination of the way communities reflect us, shape us, bring us together or tear us apart โ€“ something that isnโ€™t very pleasant even for creatures that can segment their bodies into two.โ€
