Gilbert Hernandez

The first story collection in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar saga to take place after the events of 2010's High Soft Lisp is torn from the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories, Love and Rockets Vol. IV, and Psychodrama Illustrated—and expanded with 14 new pages! In Lovers and Haters, 50-year-old cult movie actress Fritz, in addition to her alcoholism and the...

Collecting the first five issues of Gilbert Hernandez's comic book series Blubber, this collection is an absurdly X-rated showcase for the most surreally transgressive of Hernandez's short stories. Weirdos (Blubberoo, Mr. Elvis, John Dick, the Mentor), creatures (the Mau Guag, Doogs, and Orlats?), and anthropomorphs (the Cloarks, the Kekeppy) visit places where most comics fear to go. Blubber veers between...

The Washington Post, Best Graphic Novels of 2022 Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez are now recognised as two of the greatest cartoonists in the history of the medium—award-winning, world-renowned, critically acclaimed. But in 1982, when the first issue of Love and Rockets came out, they (occasionally working with their brother, Mario) were two young, struggling, unknown cartoonists who were bucking the...

The Eisner Award-winning creator Gilbert Hernandez returns with another instalment in the Fritz B-film series! In the wordless comic/silent movie Hypnotwist, B-movie actress Fritz plays a character who doesn't seem to be going anywhere—until she puts on a pair of glittery pumps. Her wanderings become increasingly surreal as she confronts motherhood, alcoholism, a sinister smiley face, cruelty, and her worst...

Three Fritz B-movies: one is entirely new, while two of the tales are expanded from their original appearances in the ongoing Love and Rockets comic book series. The titular story, Proof That the Devil Loves You, is a fable about a free spirit, Bula, played by Fritz. Something strange is going on in a town very reminiscent of Palomar. Gisel...

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, Love and Rockets will finally be released in its most accessible form yet: a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole story in perfect chronological order. This volume collects the first half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of Palomar, the small Central American town, beginning with the groundbreaking Sopa...

From the very first cover of Love and Rockets in 1982, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez have created artwork that subverted, contradicted, and celebrated the history of the comic book medium. They inverted familiar tropes and created some of the most iconic images in comics over the past 30 years, inviting fans and readers into their world. Amazingly, many of the...
