Join
beloved cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez (LOVE & ROCKETS) as he launches his new
D+Q graphic novel MARBLE SEASON, his first semiautobiographical story of his
childhood. Hernandez
will present a fascinating slide show “From Funnybooks to Graphic Novels”
featuring the comics of his childhood, in addition to a Q+A and signing. These silver age comics not only influenced
MARBLE SEASON, but also set the course for Gilbert, as well as his brothers
Jaime and Mario, to become the legendary comics creator they are
today.
MARBLE
SEASON is the first
ever semi-autobiographical novel by
acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez of Love & Rockets, and is also
his first graphic novel for Drawn & Quarterly. Meet Huey. He’s the middle
child of a big family, growing up in a California suburb in the 1960s. He stages
Captain America plays in the backyard and treasures his older brother’s
comic-book collection almost as much as his approval. Set against the golden age
of the American dream and the silver age of comics, MARBLE SEASON is a subtle
and deft rumination on the redemptive and timeless power of storytelling and
worldbuilding in childhood.
