Goody Good Comics

Gilbert Hernandez, of Love and Rockets fame, launched this Fantagraphics series in 2000 as a solo vehicle for his singular storytelling. The single issue collected his characteristically rich, off-kilter tales of small-town life and emotional turmoil, rendered in his expressive black-and-white linework. It stands as a compact but potent example of Hernandez’s ability to blend humor, heart, and surrealism in a single, self-contained comic.
