CHILDREN OF PALOMAR

This short-comics compilation returns to Gilbert Hernandezâ€™ fictitious Central American Palomar and its inhabitants.
New Tales of Old Palomar is Gilbert Hernandezâ€™s much-anticipated return to the small Central American town of Palomar, more than a decade after his last â€œHeartbreak Soupâ€ story. Originally released as a three-issue magazine series in the acclaimed international â€œIgnatzâ€ format, New Tales Old Palomar is finally collected into one handsome book. All three issues deal with the classic characters of Palomar such as sweet Pipo, her sharp-tongue sister Carmen, sheriff Chelo, and the gang of boys who help start it all: studious Heraclio, tall and fey Israel, disfigured but good-natured Vicente, and girl-crazy JesÃºs and Satch. In the first story, â€œChildren of Palomar,â€ mysterious, fast-moving thieves are stealing food from wherever they can grab it; Sheriff Chelo and some citizens do their best to solve this mystery, but nobody seems to be able to catch these bandits in action until Pipo puts her soccer-trained legs to work and goes after them herself. In the second, Gato, Soledad, Guero, Pintor, and Arturo go exploring a bottomless chasm and come face to face with... well, we wonâ€™t spoil the surprise. The third and last story focuses on one of Palomarâ€™s most beloved characters, the gorgeous but troubled TonantzÃn: Everybody in Palomar seems to take the supernatural with a grain of salt, but young TonantzÃn is determined to uncover the mystery of the laughing baby that only appears to her, haunting her daily life. What is the babyâ€™s link to the giant stone idols that stand outside the small town...? Yes
