...Palomar is the mythical Central American town where these stories take place, and the stories weave in and out of its entire population, crafting an intricate tapestry of not only Latin American but also human experience.
...The reason that I read this collection of stories is because one of my favorite comic book writers Alan Moore praised Gilbert Hernandez's writing. If a comic book legend like him held this in such high regard then it was obviously something special. Upon reading the first few stories, I wasn't terribly impressed with the story or the art and I thought to myself "What? This is it? Well I guess this is mildly interesting. Let's see where it goes." Before I knew it, I had read nearly halfway through the entire book within the night, only stopping because I needed to sleep. Somewhere along the way, the characters that inhabited the small village of Palomar became important to me. To fully appreciate these stories, you MUST start from the beginning, do not skip around the book! Continuity is very important so you can fully understand what is going on and why you should care. There are seemingly minor moments (sometimes only a small panel or background character) which may SEEM to be completely random or unimportant at first that are actually referencing something that has happened in much earlier stories or are seeds being discretely planted for future tales. Going back to re-read is rewarding.
...I started reading Love & Rockets when I was in college in the mid 80s. It blew me away in terms of writing, style, layout. Gilbert is not the best technically, but he more than makes up for it in his storytelling and pacing. I continued reading the stories of Palomar until the mid 90s when other life issues took up most of my time. It was wonderful rediscovering this magnificent work in a single volume.
