Publisher's Synopsis
Gilbert Hernandez's first original graphic novel from Fantagraphics follows on the heels of his acclaimed Sloth, published by Titan. Chance in Hell tells the story of a little orphan girl who lives in the slum of slums. Nobody knows who she is or where she's from, but the fellow inhabitants of the shantytown collectively look after her. The three-act story follows the heroine as she is adopted by a decent man who raises her well, and she eventually marries a kind, well-to-do man, only to discover that she can't relate to the good life and the comforts it provides.
