Proof That the Devil Loves You #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Proof That the Devil Loves You," Gilbert Hernandez crafts a surreal, self-reflexive journey as an astronaut named Fritz—caught in a bizarre cosmic mission—finds herself colliding with alternate versions of her own cinematic persona. Through a series of dreamlike encounters with past roles like Hypnotwist, Aladdin, Maria M., and The Troublemakers, the line between identity and performance begins to blur. With every page drawn, inked, lettered, and conceived by Hernandez himself, this issue stands as a singular, introspective exploration of fame, memory, and the many faces we wear.
In "Proof That the Devil Loves You," a surreal small town spirals into chaos as an abusive sheriff clashes with a mysterious, buxom woman wielding a symbolic tool, while a dance instructor remains trapped by forces she can't explain. The story unfolds with sharp satire and offbeat humor, blurring the line between reality and absurdity in a setting that feels both familiar and deeply strange.
In "Las Vegas Lace," a trio of talking animals—a perpetually upbeat pig and a sly duck among them—trade their everyday lives for the glittering chaos of Las Vegas, chasing dreams as bright as the Strip. What starts as a wild, sun-kissed adventure through neon lights and high-stakes games quickly tests just how much optimism can survive the glittering haze.
In "null," Jo finds herself on a high-stakes mission to activate a mysterious space beacon, but when the ship's systems fail, she’s pulled into a surreal cascade of alternate realities—each one a different version of her past roles, from Hypnotwist to The Magic Voyage of Aladdin. Written by the team behind Proof That the Devil Loves You, this 22-page sci-fi tale blurs identity and memory in a journey where every reflection might be a trap.
In "null," Fritz steps into the spotlight across five stark, cinematic panels, slipping through the skins of iconic roles—from the eerie allure of Hypnotwist to the haunted grandeur of King Vampire—each frame a fleeting glimpse of a performer lost in the art of becoming someone else.
