By: Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Titan Books Ltd
1987-06
These are great illustrated stories. They have the feel of true literature. The drawing style is almost naive but sophisticated in its graphic clarity and concise storytelling. I marvel at Mr. Hernandez' ability to convey emotion through a simple series of panel designs. Great memorable characters and heartfelt dialogue. As I read I got the impression that these are true stories, although a bit exaggerated... more

| 3. Love and Rockets: New Stories, No. 2 | 
|
By: Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Mario Hernandez
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
August 29, 2009
This book doesn't stand alone; it stands atop nearly thirty years of previous work by both of the creators; this would be a horrible place to begin reading either of them. This particular yearly "issue" has a hundred pages of comics, evenly divided between Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.
Jaime's half comes in two parts, but they're continuing the same story -- the story that began in last... more

|
By: Jaime Hernandez, Mario Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
September 15, 2008
The underground comix movement of the '60s and '70s gets the most attention among comics lovers and historians, but it would be a tragic mistake to overlook the incredible variety of independent work created in the 1980s. At a time when mainstream comics were variously exploding and imploding, independents charged ahead, sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing spectacularly, but always taking huge... more

|
By: Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
July 04, 2007
Gilbert Hernandez certainly has a peculiar and interesting way of portraying the small fictional town of Palomar in Mexico. From the beginning you can see where he wants to go with his storytelling with the integration of many characters all at once, almost bombarding you with each unique member of town. After a few issues, the key players are identified, and each aforementioned charcter is gradually... more

By: Gilbert Hernandez
By: Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Dark Horse
October 22, 2008
Gilbert Hernandez's Speak of the Devil is the kind of book that challenges its readers to understand it; it may even challenge its readers to actually enjoy it. I've never read anything by Hernandez (or his brother Jaime, with whom he produces Love and Rockets), so part of me wonders if my own lack of enjoyment may somehow relate to my lack of previous exposure to the creator. In the end, I found much... more

By: Gilbert Hernandez
Publisher: Vertigo
December 02, 2008
Just thinking about Sloth makes me feel happy. From it's plot outline and the other reviews I'm sure that you think this book is a downer. It is not. It is written so passively that I was almost hugging myself while reading it. To spoil anything from any part of this book would be to spoil the end of Hamlet.
However, if I had to choose one thing that I don't like about Sloth, it would be... more
