“Since I Don't Have You”

In "Since I Don't Have You," Gilbert Hernandez delivers a poignant, layered narrative that traces the quiet weight of memory and loss through Pipo’s journey after learning of Soledad Marquez’s death. Moving between a pivotal teenage moment in Palomar—where a reckless act of jealousy sets a life on a tragic course—and a later reunion with the imprisoned Soledad, the story unfolds with Hernandez’s signature emotional precision. The issue’s interior and cover art, all by Hernandez, capture the intimacy and gravity of moments that shape a lifetime.

Pipo finds out Soledad Marquez has died, then visits her now-officially divorced ex Fritz before taking a flight to Palomar. In a flashback to the time period of the earliest Palomar story, fourteen-year-old Pipo deals with fluctuating interest from Manuel and persistent attention from Soledad. In a teenage pique, she tells Soledad to scare Manuel with an unloaded gun but he winds up killing him. Flash-forward to the mid-to-late nineties post-Palomar period, the now adult and well-off Pipo reconciles with the still-imprisoned Soledad.
