Chance in Hell Hardcover
Written & Illustrated Gilbert Hernandez
Gilbert Hernandez's first original graphic novel from Fantagraphics follows on the heels of his
acclaimed graphic novel, Sloth, from DC's Vertigo Comics 2006. Chance in Hell tells the story about a
little orphan girl who lives in the slums of the slums. Nobody knows who she is or where she's from, but
her fellow shantytown inhabitants collectively look over her. The three-act story follows our heroine as
she is adopted by a decent man who raises her well, and she eventually marries a kind, well-to-do man,
only to discover that she can't relate to the good life and the comforts he provides. 5 X 7 Format, 120

Luba : Three Daughters
Written & Illustrated by Gilbert Hernandez
Luba: Three Daughters is the final book in Gilbert Hernandez’s post-Palomar trilogy (following Luba In
America and Luba: The Book of Ofelia), a body of work comparable in comics only to Hernandez’s own
Palomar in terms of scope and ambition. It continues the story of matriarch Luba and her extended
family’s travails in the United States after her Central American hometown is destroyed at the end of the
Palomar. Luba: Three Daughters focuses on Luba and her two sisters, Fritz and Petra, as Hernandez
continues to use his characters to explore the complex relationships that form between family and how
the experiences and actions of one generation influence the next. Hernandez is renowned for his female
characters. Hernandez intersperses his main narrative with “The Kid Stuff Kids,” a series of lighthearted
and playful one-pagers starring the young children of the three sisters, richly juxtaposed against the
complex family drama at work in Three Daughters. Hernandez’s mix of Latino soap opera, magic realist
touches and rich naturalism in the service of stories that speak to the changes that come with age and
experience are unparalleled in comics, and feature the most vivid, memorable and honestly depicted
characters in comics. Black & White, 7 1/2 ” x 11 ” Format. 136 PGS.

length “Palomar” story ever created by Gilbert. Also included are all the post-“Diastrophism” stories, in
