Let The Year Of Gilbert Hernandez Begin

There's a nice piece up over at The Advocate about Gilbert Hernandez on the publication of his Julio's Day, which I suspect -- suspect and hope -- will kick off a lengthy period of appreciation for one of the great, prolific cartoonists of our time. I'm told that Julio's Day reads astonishingly well now that it's been collected, and I can attest to the quality of Hernandez's forthcoming book from Drawn and Quarterly, Marble Season. I think we're supposed to see a collection of New Tales Of Old Palomar -- which I'm told will be called The Children Of Palomar -- and that work really shows off the cartoonist's under-appreciated power as an image-maker. I can't imagine a whole lot of better things for comics than if the Hernandez Brothers build on their 30-year anniversary momentum and stay relevant in a way their work demands.
