    1st printing.

    Written by Mario Hernandez. Art and cover by Gilbert Hernandez.

    This comics omnibus includes the graphic novels Julio's Day and The Children of Palomar, as well as never-before-collected work by brothers Mario and Gilbert Hernandez, some of which has never been available since its early 2000s run in comic book single issues.

    Children of Palomar and Other Tales (the fifteenth volume in our Complete Love and Rockets Library omnibuses and the eighth Gilbert volume) begins with "Me for the Unknown," uncollected since its original 2001-2004 run in Love and Rockets Vol. II comic books.

    Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a death trap clutching important papers, and an imperious CEO and his manservant pursue him through a land plagued by colonialist/corporate greed. Also collected: one of their joints from 2008, "Chiro el Indio." In The Children of Palomar suite of short stories (2006-2007; collected in 2013), there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. And in Julio's Day, which originally ran from 2001-2008 and was collected in 2013, a man's life-threaded with war, loss, illness, and forbidden love-spans a century.

    Children of Palomar and Other Tales: A Love and Rockets Book is part of the Love and Rockets series.

    Darbi TPB (2022 Rocketship Comics) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    Volume 1 - 1st printing.

    Story and art by Sherard Jackson.

    DARBI features the misadventures of a bloodthirsty baby T-rex and his family as they fight for survival in a savage land. In the first arc, "Everything Hates You", Darbi fights off pteranodons, or as Darbi likes to call them, "posers", so that he can make it home to find his family. Darbi's second arc, "Blooded", dives into his origin story. Readers will meet Darbi's adopted family for the first time and we learn how he got his scars (both real and metaphorical). Finally, in "Cretaceous Boogaloo", Darbi and Pete must escape capture from the "Bangers" (Dakotaraptors), who have our heroes hostage as a part of their mating ritual.

    Darbi started as an acclaimed webcomic that has grown into a cult sensation. Combining the humor of series such as South Park and the violence of Jurassic World, Darbi occupies a space of its own.

    Sherard Jackson's hilarious and ultraviolent webcomic Darbi features the misadventures of a bloodthirsty baby T-Rex and his family as they fight for survival in a savage land. Volume 1 collects the first 3 arcs: "Everything Hates You", "Blooded", and "Cretaceous Boogaloo".

    Love and Rockets The Sketchbooks HC (2024 Fantagraphics) 1-1ST


    (see more images)

    1st printing. BY Gilbert Hernandez and, Jaime Hernandez. Both Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez developed their skills as artists in public, in the pages of Love and Rockets, and as quickly as any artists ever have. The first issue showed two promising young tyros; by the fourth, both brothers were clearly among the foremost cartoonists of their generation. But not all of that development took place on the main stage of their shared magazine. They built up to their 1981 self-published debut with years of experiments, fan art, zine illustrations, early short comics, and gig posters, and continued to work out in personal sketchbooks after establishing themselves as the preeminent cartoonists they became. Fantagraphics published two volumes of this nascent or private drawing in 1989 and 1992. Now, this deluxe hardcover collects the work from these two volumes with other rarely-seen artwork for a new generation of admirers. It's presented as a dual-sided flip book with one cover, and one half of the book, featuring Jaime's work and a second cover, and other half of the book, highlighting Gilbert's work. The Hernandez Brothers mastery of comics is seen on every page of the thousands of pages of Love and Rockets theyve drawn over the last 40 years. Here, for the first time in three decades, see the work they put into becoming those artists. Hardcover, 10-in. x 13-in., 300 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $75.00.
