Here’s your first sneak peek of an advance copy of The Love and Rockets Companion, edited by Marc Sobel & Kristy Valenti and coming in July. This book fits nicely on your shelf with the Love and Rockets Library volumes and serves as your guide to the L&R universe, with 3 major interviews with the Hernandez brothers, character guides, previously unpublished artwork, Locas and Palomar timelines, a complete bibliography, and letter column excerpts. All this wrapped in a fold-out jacket with a poster on one side and character family trees on the other! We’ll show you that in action along with more views of the book soon.
Our free 32-page preview assembles short excerpts from each of the major sections; read it here, where you can also place your pre-order. And you can pre-order a set of the Companion, Covers, and Reader books at a nice discount here.

From Gilbert Hernandez’ story “Act of Contrition”, part of his Palomarverse of stories set in a small fictional Latin American town. When I first read this I was 14 years old or thereabouts, and had yet to encounter “Les Misérables”. Ofelia goes for challenging goodnight stories!

Beautiful Palomar pin-up by Gilbert Hernandez. Originally published in the Love & Rockets calendar and later collected in Hernandez Satyricon (L&R Library vol. 15), published by Fantagraphics, August 1997.
I have this as a print, but in colour. It’s amazing.

Panel from Gilbert’s Hernandez’s story “The Way Things Are Going”, part of his Palomar-verse. I think it’s from around 1986…

In terms of reading material at the moment, I’ve been spending a lot of time with Luba and the gang in Palomar. It’s always a good time!

- Gilbert Hernandez’ very first Palomar story, “Heartbreak Soup”. This is comics history; at the time, nothing like this had been seen in North American comics before (and quite likely not in European comics, either). This was the story that convinced me that comics for adults could actually be enjoyable. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥‘Welcome my friends to Palomar. Where men are men, and women need a sense of humor.’
Old Love & Rockets Trading Cards. ♥

-Gilbert Hernandez most central character. After the end of Love and Rockets vol I (which ended with # 50), he mostly moved away from depicting life in the small fictional Central American town of Palomar and instead followed Luba and her family as they moved to the US. (He’s also done plenty of other, unconnected stories.)Luba (c) Gil Hernandez
