New Tales of Old Palomar #1
This collection gathers the first volume of Gilbert Hernandez's return to the fictional Central American town of Palomar, originally serialized in the 2000s. Featuring a sprawling cast of familiar residents—including Luba, the Jimenez family, and various Villaseñors—the stories continue the town's rich, intergenerational saga of love, conflict, and everyday life. Published by Fantagraphics under the Ignatz imprint, this volume compiles the opening chapters of the New Tales of Old Palomar series.
In "The Children of Palomar," Gilbert Hernandez introduces a quiet mystery in the heart of Palomar, where two mischievous little "demons" have been vanishing food right from people’s hands with uncanny speed. When they finally target Augustin and Lucia, their older sister Pipo takes it upon herself to track them down—leading to a small, suspenseful chase that hints at deeper connections within the community. The story unfolds in Hernandez’s signature style, with his distinctive art and lettering bringing the neighborhood’s rhythms to life.
