Palomar (subtitled The Heartbreak Soup Stories) is the title of a graphic novel written and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez and published in 2003 by Fantagraphics Books (Template:ISBN). It collects work previously published within the pages of Love and Rockets (volume one). Palomar is the fictional town in Latin America where all the stories presented are set.[1] Palomar was included in Time magazine's Best Comics of 2003 list.[2]
Plot
Set in the titular fictional town in an unnamed Central American nation, Palomar follows Luba, a businesswoman who works at the town's movie theater in order to care for her seven illegitimate children.[1] The comic has drawn praise for its portrayal of female characters and Latin American culture within the often-misogynistic comics industry.[3] The comic notably defies stereotypes about Latin Americans, with the titular town and its residents rarely conforming to stereotypical perceptions and not being treated as "foreign."[3][4]
