The only Filipino graphic novel nominated in the Eisner Awards for best new graphic album, Elmer indeed deserves international recognition. Created by Gerry Alanguilan, Elmer is a story about chickens who have mysteriously gained human intelligence and consciousness. It follows their chilling tale of survival for acceptance in this world and their struggle to co-exist with the human race and to live with equal rights. Elmer is worth buying and is a good read.
