"After a decade spent chronicling the goings-on in the sleepy Central American hamlet of Palomar, Gilbert Hernandez expanded his world radically with these two epic stories.
The dizzyingly dense period piece POISON RIVER traces the pre-Palomar childhood of Luba, her teenage marriage to the gangster Peter Rio, the secrets behind her mysterious mother - all the way to her arrival in Palomar.
And LOVE AND ROCKETS X depicts 1990s Los Angeles as a cauldron of cultural and racial resentments ready to boil over - seemingly a million miles away from placid Palomar, and yet there are echoes from the distant village, as a certain Palomar expatriate becomes a member of the cast, and a skateboarding kid's fugue state lands him in a most unexpected place."">The dizzyingly dense period piece POISON RIVER traces the pre-Palomar childhood of Luba, her teenage marriage to the gangster Peter Rio, the secrets behind her mysterious mother - all the way to her arrival in Palomar.
