Trade Publication Article
The Comics Universe Of Jaime Hernandez
2019
Overview
The Hernandez brothers self-published the first issue of Love and Rockets in 1980, and it's been released in various formats--as a periodical comic and as an annual trade paperback--by Fantagraphics since 1982. Gilbert's world, centered on the fictional Central American town of Palomar, isn't connected to Hoppers (Palomar is more magical realism, Hoppers is just realism); each is its own complex universe where characters age and change and the tiniest detail of everyday life can have a profound impact. Loosely connected to his better-known stories, the narrative focuses on Tonta, a teen girl who is enthusiastic about her crushes, passionate about her enemies, and completely stunned when her family life turns out to be a melodrama of murder, secret siblings, and jealousy.
