Psychodrama Illustrated #4
In the concluding chapter of "Little Ones, part 2," Gilbert Hernandez delivers a poignant, grounded exploration of life in the border town of Lagrimas, where the looming threat of a new wall casts a long shadow over daily existence. With his signature emotional precision, Hernandez charts the ripple effects of a failed assassination attempt, as Sal’s loss of his gun sets off a chain of personal reckonings that reverberate through the community. The story, rendered in Hernandez’s distinctive, expressive style, unfolds with quiet intensity—every line and shadow carrying weight, and the cover by Hernandez himself captures the town’s tense, fragile atmosphere.
