Marble Season

Marble Season is a single-issue graphic novel from Faber & Faber, published in 2013, that captures the quiet, nostalgic world of childhood play and imagination. Written and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it offers a warm, slice-of-life look at a group of kids in 1960s California, exploring how they create their own stories and rules through marbles, games, and comic books. This standalone work matters as a tender, personal detour from Hernandez’s more famous Love and Rockets, showcasing his ability to find profound emotion in everyday moments.
