Heartbreak Soup
A Love and Rockets Book
Checking Availibility...Description
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Love and Rockets is released in its most accessible form yet: as a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole Palomar story in chronological order.
Heartbreak Soup collects the first half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of Palomar, the small Central American town, starting with the groundbreaking "Sopa de Gran Pena" (which introduces most of the main cast of characters as children, plus the imposing newcomer Luba), and continues on through such modern-day classics as "Ecce Homo," "Act of Contrition," "Duck Feet" and the great love story "For the Love of Carmen".
About this Author

Reviews
"An addictive soap opera, replete with humor and heart."
"The Love and Rockets reprints may be my favorite publishing project of the last five years, and there are a lot of fine projects going on... the smaller, bargain-priced volumes [are] the perfect vehicle for that material, the best comics series of all time."
