Extra Issues – Fantagraphics #6: Love and Rockets – Gilbert Hernandez

Charlotte “Booba” Costigan, Tonantzack, and special guest Sara Century wrap up the series covering the renowned comic book publisher Fantagraphics. This is the secondof two episodes covering Love and Rockets, focused on the work of Gilbert Hernandez. Our first episode, five months ago, covered Jaime Hernandez’ work.

Comics covered in this episode:
 – Love and Rockets Library Editions:
– Heartbreak Soup
– Human Diastrophism
– Beyond Palomar

Topics discussed:
– These comics can be unapproachable… does that make them stronger in the long run?
– How does Beto make this town feel so grounded but also mythical?
– Why does no one have a Luba tattoo?

Our next miniseries will be on Kentaro Miura’s Berserk:
Ep 1: Vol. 1-3
Ep 2: Vol 4-13 (trust us, splitting it up like this makes sense)

Following that, we’ll be doing a miniseries on Jeff Smith:
Ep 1: Bone, and Rose (A Bone prequel)
Ep 2: RASL
