The Love and Rockets Library

Love and Rockets: New Stories #1 reboots the ongoing "Love and Rockets" comic to a fat, all-new annual graphic-novel length package that will be available in bookstores. Jaime launches the new format with a superhero yarn: Penny Century has acquired superpowers, but is half-mad with grief and rampaging through the galaxy. A motley group of superheroes assemble to try to stop her. Only the first half of the saga, it combines Jaime's razor-sharp characterization and superlative art with wildly inventive, Kirby-style action. Gilbert Hernandez has these stories: "Tamanny" (rookie cop vs. demonic drug users); "Papa" (a turn-of-the-century story involving a traveling businessman); "The New Adventures of Duke and Sammy" (superpowered Martin and Lewis impostors in outer space); "The Tender Room" (Into the Wild as re-imagined by Beto); "Chiro el Indio" (written by third brother Mario Hernandez); and "Never Say Never" (a kangaroo gets lucky in Las Vegas).

The Heartbreak Soup Stories (Love and Rockets)

Palomar

Collects stories featuring the inhabitants of a mythical South American town called Palomar and the interconnected lives of its unusual inhabitants.

The Heartbreak Soup Stories

It begins in the year 1900, with the scream of a newborn. It ends, 100 pages later, in the year 2000, with the death-rattle of a 100-year-old man. The infant and the old man are both Julio, and Gilbert Hernandez's Julio's Day (originally serialized in Love and Rockets Vol. II but never completed until now) is his latest graphic novel, a masterpiece of elliptical, emotional storytelling that traces one life -- indeed, one century in a human life -- through a series of carefully crafted, consistently surprising and enthralling vignettes. There is hope and joy, there is bullying and grief, there is war (so much war -- this is after all the 20th century), there is love, there is heartbreak. This is very much a singular, standalone story that will help cement Hernandez's position as one of the strongest and most original cartoonists of this, or any other, century.

Julio's Day

Gilbert Hernandez has taken this suite of stories (including the 48-page graphic novelette “High Soft Lisp”), originally serialized in the second volume of Love and Rockets, and fleshed them out with a dozen brand new pages, creating an original and inventive (and very steamy) volume that, through its connections to his main character Luba (Fritz is Luba’s half sister, and characters from the Luba stories pop up here), works both as a standalone graphic novel and a further exploration of Hernandez’s rich world.

High Soft Lisp

This volume collects the first half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of Palomar, the small central American town, beginning with 'Sopa de Gran Peana' and continuing on through modern-day classics."

Heartbreak Soup

When "Loverboy" embarks on a passioante affair with an older woman, who used to be his teacher, a small town's secrets and lies are brought to the surface.

Loverboys

Jim Anotsu

Tudo começa no ano 1900, com o choro de um recém-nascido, e termina cem páginas depois, no ano 2000, com os últimos suspiros de um homem de 100 anos. A criança e o velho são, ambos, Julio, e O dia de Julio, de Gilbert Hernandez (originalmente serializado em Love and Rockets Vol. 2, mas nunca completado até agora), é sua última graphic novel uma obra-prima narrativa elíptica e emocional que traça uma vida – de fato, um século em uma vida humana – em uma série de vinhetas cuidadosamente trabalhadas, sempre surpreendentes e cativantes. Há esperança e alegria, há perseguição e luto, há guerra (muita guerra – trata-se, afinal, do século XX), há amor, há corações partidos. Esta é uma história singular e autônoma que contribui para sedimentar a posição de Hernandez como um dos mais importantes e originais cartunistas deste século, ou de qualquer outro.

O dia de Julio

"Bumperhead follows Bobby, a young slacker who narrates his life as it happens but offers very little reflection on the events that transpire. He lives in the moment exclusively and is incapable of seeing the world outside of his experiences. He comes of age in the 1970s, making a rapid progression through that era's different subcultures and in a short period of time segues from a stoner glam rocker to a drunk rocker to a speed-freak punk. He drifts in and out of relationships with friends, both male and female. Life zooms past him" --

Bumperhead

"There's a peeping tom prowling the neighborhood. Eyewitness reports vary, but one thing is agreed upon: he wears a Devil mask. This is the story of Val Castillo, a promising gymnast with a strange hobby: she is secretly the neighborhood peeping tom. At first she is alone in this, but when a male friend discovers her doings he joins her in a dark journey of spying and making discoveries about their neighbors that may have been better left alone. Especially secrets that threaten all involved, like Val spying on her own father and stepmother in their bedroom. This snowballs into a journey darker than even the most cynical would care to endure"--P. [4] of cover.
