Psychodrama Illustrated #5

In "Return to Mystery," Gilbert Hernandez crafts a quietly intense chapter in the ongoing saga of Mila and Efren as they search for the elusive drug The Enabler, a substance said to dissolve inhibitions for an hour with any willing partner. The journey leads Mila back to a figure from her past—a cloaked stranger she first encountered years ago—unfolding fragments of her history in a story drawn and lettered with Hernandez’s signature precision. The cover, also by Hernandez, captures the mood with its stark, shadowed figure and subtle tension.
