Comedy is Hard... but Dying is Easy! Carl Dixon is on the verge of comedy superstardom and he got there the dirty way: by stealing jokes. He's got a killer act, an ugly past, and more enemies than punch-lines. So when someone asks Syd "Sh*t-Talk" Homes—disgraced ex-cop turned bitter stand-up comic turned... possible felon?!—how much it would cost to have Dixon killed, Syd isn't surprised in the slightest. He's already got a figure in mind...

In a world of primeval fantasy, a wood nymph adopts a pair of human infants abandoned in the ancient forest of the woodfolk, and they grow to exhibit mysterious powers of sorcery. Driniel is the night-wanderer, summoning demons for his arcane pleasures, while his brother Alleyr is the flame of valor, rising to esteem in the ranks of the woodfolk hunters. The Woodking's daughter, Vega, finds herself torn between them, yet even her love for them cannot sway her father when their brutal natures manifest, and his judgment is severe: exile back into the savage world of Man!

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, Love and Rockets is finally released in its most accessible form yet: As a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole story in perfect chronological order. This volume collects the second half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of "Palomar," the small Central American town, beginning with the landmark "Human Diastrophism," named one of the greatest comic book stories of the 20th Century by The Comics Journal, and continuing on through more modern-day classics. "Human Diastrophism" is the only full graphic novel length "Palomar" story ever created by Gilbert. In it, a serial killer stalks Palomar — but his depredations, hideous as they are, only serve to exacerbate the cracks in the idyllic Central American town as the modern world begins to intrude. "Diastrophism" concludes with the death (the suicide, in fact) of one of Palomar's most beloved characters, and a postscript that provides one of the most hauntingly magical moments of the entire series as a rain of ashes drifts down upon Palomar. Also included are all the post-"Diastrophism" stories, in which Luba's past (as seen in the epic Poison River) comes back to haunt her, and the seeds are sown for the "Palomar diaspora" that ends this dense, enthralling book.
