The Troublemakers

Gilbert Hernandez’s The Troublemakers, a single-issue comic from Fantagraphics published in 2009, is a standalone story that distills his signature blend of character-driven drama and offbeat humor. Known for his work on Love and Rockets, Hernandez writes and draws this tale of small-town intrigue and personal conflict, offering a concentrated dose of his distinctive storytelling. While brief, it matters as a focused example of his mature, independent voice in comics.
