It stars the inhabitants of a small Latin American town -- long-suffering midwife\/sheriff Chelo; Pipo, tomboy-turned-heartthrob; Carmen, wryer than her years; teen boys Heraclio, Satch, Augustin, Jesus, Israel, and Vicente, whose paths diverge and intersect over time; Diana and Tonantzin, sisters and polar opposites; and many other finely drawn and dynamic characters -- whose already-tempestuous lives are roiled when Luba, an assertive single mother, moves there to set up a bathing business. \u003cp\u003e Palomar is a selection from the first 50 issues (1985-1996) of Hernandez's multigenerational saga, which has followed the lives and loves, adventures and horrors, of his signature characters, their children, and their children's children -- borne from a place where the mystical is quotidian and the quotidian is mystical -- for 40+ years. These are the stories that forever changed the face (and the heart) of American comics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525784932521,"sku":"PHBK-9798875002663","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0578\/9899\/1785\/files\/12609313488908.jpg?v=1791408269","url":"https:\/\/myti.com\/products\/palomar-the-heartbreak-soup-stories","provider":"Myti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
