“The Mystery Wen (Heartbreak Soup Theater)”

In "The Mystery Wen (Heartbreak Soup Theater)," a collection of real letters from readers across the U.S. and Canada—ranging from Northridge to Oakville—forms the heart of a quietly poignant, character-driven story. Written by Gary Groth and brought to life with expressive, intimate detail by Gilbert Hernandez on the cover, this issue captures the raw, unfiltered voices of everyday people, blending humor, longing, and the oddball charm of personal confessions.
