Love and Rockets #13
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Boys Will Be Boys," Gilbert Hernandez crafts a quiet yet haunting exploration of perception and desire, as photographer Howard Miller wanders the streets of Palomar, capturing fleeting moments of everyday life. When Tonantzin, a local woman with dreams of Hollywood, draws him into her world, Miller’s journey takes a surreal turn after a visit to the town’s forgotten ruins leaves him disoriented and changed. The issue, drawn, written, and lettered by Gilbert Hernandez with a striking cover by Jaime Hernandez, lingers in the space between reality and memory.
In "Young Locas," a poignant flashback from Love and Rockets #13, 13-year-old Maggie grapples with the quiet ache of growing up—her job at Sal's Garage pulling her away from her closest friend, Letty. Just as she prepares to leave, a new opportunity pulls her in, only to find, when she finally seeks out Letty, that the world has moved on without her.
In "An American in Palomar [Part One]," Howard Miller, a photographer from out of town, wanders the quiet streets of Palomar, capturing its people and places with quiet intensity. When he meets Tonantzin, a local woman with her own dreams of visibility, their chance encounter sparks an unexpected connection. As Miller explores the ancient ruins beyond town, he’s drawn into a disorienting, dreamlike experience that leaves him unsettled—and when he returns, Tonantzin is waiting, her presence now more charged than before.
