Publisher's Synopsis

New Tales of Old Palomar is Gilbert Hernandez's much anticipated return to the small Central American town of Palomar, more than a decade after his last Heartbreak Soup' story. The three stories contained within were originally released as a three-issue magazine series. All three issues deal with Palomar's classic characters, such as sweet Pipo, her sharp-tongued sister Carmen, sheriff Chelo and the gang of boys who help start it all - studious Heraclio, fey Israel, disfigured but good-natured Vincente and girl-crazy Jess and Satch.'

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
