Synopsis

In 1982, brothers Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez created Love & Rockets , an astonishing mixture of magical realism, science fiction, and meditations on the human condition which became one of the most critically acclaimed series of all time. Welcome to the mythical Central American town of Palomar, and meet Luba, the town's larger-than-life mayor. With tales weaving in and out of the town's entire population, Heartbreak Soup is a complex tapestry of Latin American life. Multi-award-winning writer and artist, Gilbert Hernandez presents densely plotted and deeply imagined tales, often compared with magic realist authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez - a must for any fan of truly adult comics!

Media Reviews
The graphic equivalent to the fabulism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel laureate. - The Times * A high point in the comics form, conventional in idiom, but not comparable to any strips before it. - The Washington Post * An extraordinary, eccentric and very literary cartoonist. - Publishers' Weekly * Masterful. - Booklist
