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. 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 and Kiki are determined to understand why the hamlet's residents are acting so foolishly -- is it something in the air? And why can't Gisel leave? But when there's a violent turn, evidence points toward the supernatural. Then, Fritz plays the role of an 'astronette' on an existential journey through space. Proof That the Devil Loves You is the latest in a series of graphic novels featuring Gilbert Hernandez's character Fritz, a B-movie actress (and half-sister to his iconic Love and Rockets character, Luba) whose hourglass figure has earned her a cult following. While Gilbert often explores Fritz's troubled life off-screen in Love and Rockets, for years he has also been 'adapting' her exploitation films in various forms, including a series of standalone graphic novels that include Chance in Hell, The Troublemakers, Garden of the Flesh, Maria M., and Hypnotwist/Scarlet By Starlight. Proof That the Devil Loves You is part of the Love and Rockets series."--]cProvided by publisher.

This oversized art book collects the comics series' iconic covers sans title or logo.

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 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.

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.
