Palomar... the mystical land from whence a new way doing comics first emerged, materializing in the pages of Love and Rockets during the 1980s. The level of characterization achieved in comics form within these pages was unprecedented then and remains unmatched now. As the sub-title intimates, it is the "Heartbreak Soup" stories – those which initially introduced readers to Palomar – that are collected here, all taken from the original 50-issue run. If there is anyone reading this who has yet to experience the wonder on offer in these stories, here is an ideal opportunity to do so.
ALSO: This hefty 528-page hardcover volume is a perfect match to Jaime's Locas published earlier this year.
