Luba's Comics and Stories #7

"Fritz After Dark" is a standout entry in Gilbert Hernandez’s Luba’s Comics and Stories, showcasing his signature blend of intimate storytelling and emotional depth. Written and illustrated by Hernandez himself—handling every aspect from pencils to inks and letters—this issue unfolds through Mark’s reflective narration, tracing the complex, decades-spanning journey of Fritz, from a high school outsider obsessed with a cult film to a woman whose life becomes a mosaic of love, identity, and unexpected fame. The cover, also by Hernandez, captures the story’s moody, personal tone with its stark, expressive lines.
