Bøger af Gilbert Hernandez

Reprints of comics written and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez between 1982 and 2003, tracing the lives of the residents of the mythical Latin American village from the arrival of Luba, the guiding material spirit of Palomar, to her departure twenty years later.

Presented as a handsome dual-sided book with two covers, go behind the scenes of The Brothers Hernandez: over 400 pages of sketches, inked drawings, early comics, and uninhibited graphic ephemera that never made it into the pages of Love and Rockets.

This book presents three Fritz B-movies: one all-new, two revised and expanded from their initial comic book run. The titular story is a fable set in a world very reminiscent of Palomar. Then, Fritz plays an "astronette" on an existential mission through space.

Presents two stories from Gilbert Hernandez, and features "Poison River" in which Luba marries a gangster and moves to Palomar; and "Love and Rockets X," that depicts a local from Palomar who relocates to Los Angeles in the 1990s.

This volume of The Complete Love and Rockets Library, by all three Hernandez brothers, collects all the stories that didn't fit into the Locas and Palomar storylines from that classic first, 50-issue run. It's a dizzying array of styles, genres, and approaches that re-confirms these groundbreaking cartoonists' place in the history of comics.

The great Gilbert Hernandez's unfettered Id unleashed! Absurd, explicit, and profanely funny, Blubber makes all other comics blush.

"Collects (and expands!) the graphic novellas 'Hypnotwist' and 'Scarlet by Starlight' from Love and rockets: new stories"--

In the eleventh Complete Love and Rockets Library (the fifth chronologically in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar main storyline), Ofelia threatens to write a book about Luba, and Fritz and Pipo fall in love.

Luba and her family leave Palomar for the U.S., where she is united with her sisters, body-builder Petra and therapist/film star Fritz.

Gilbert Hernandez traces the life of a 100-year-old man from cradle to grave in this fictional graphic novel.

In his first book with Faber, Hernandez tells the untold stories of these American comics legends' youth, and portrays the reality of life in a large family in suburban 1960s California. Told largely from the point of view of middle child Huey - who stages Captain America plays and treasures his older brother's comic book collection almost as much as his approval - Marble Season deftly follows these boys as they navigate their cultural and neighborhood norms. Set against the golden age of the American dream and the silver age of comics, and awash with pop-culture references - TV shows, comic books, super-heroes and music -Marble Season subtly details how their innocent, joyfully creative play changes as they grow older and encounter name-calling, abusive bullies, and the value judgments of others. A coming-of-age story both comic and moving, it will have timeless resonance for children and adults alike.
