ALL NEW ALL STAR RECOMMENDS #1 MARCH 2021



ALL NEW ALL STAR RECOMMENDS #1

MARCH 2021

Cameron Ashley


Hi There, 

I’m Cam. Been a while, huh? Excuse me as I shake off the column-writing rust right here and I should be back in May, if not before, a little fitter in the writing department.

I’ve changed things up quite a bit around here, hope you like the new format.


FEATURED COMIC:

PSYCHODRAMA ILLUSTRATED #3-#4

Gilbert Hernandez

Fantagraphics

Brothers Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez hold reputations as two of the world’s greatest living cartoonists. Despite ongoing, decades long acclaim for both Los Bros Hernandez, it’s Jaime, with his gorgeous and dare I say it, more commercially appealing linework who remains the higher profile of the two. As evidence, there’s Jaime’s illustration work, the magazine covers, the monographs, the studio editions. Not to mention the fact that we really only see his beautiful sequential work in quarterly instalments of Love & Rockets. The arrival of new Jaime work almost feels like an event.


Gilbert, on the other hand, not only toils away on L&R but has amassed a huge body of comics work outside of that world. He’s prolific, versatile and unafraid to take huge creative risks. He’s also quite possibly taken for granted a bit.


While Jaime’s work has evolved gorgeously over the 35-plus years of Love & Rockets history, Gilbert’s has also, just in much different ways. While Jaime has refined an illustrative lushness, Gilbert has simplified and somewhat abstracted his style. It’s become looser, cartoonier and surely much quicker to produce as his large output might signal. Not only is there so much of Gilbert’s work, the range of it is giant - the incredible drama of Julio’s Day, the  true life-tinged Marble Season, the zombie splatter of Fatima: The Blood Spinners, the absurdity of Blubber and wild sexuality found in Garden of The Flesh or the best porno comic ever, Birdland, for example.

 

A fairly constant presence on comic shop shelves, over the years Gilbert’s created work for not just L&R publisher Fantagraphics, but also Drawn and Quarterly, Dark Horse, Vertigo and he even wrote a brief run of DCs Birds of Prey comics in 2003. He’s been everywhere, making zombie comics, porno comics, surreal Lynchian comics, crime comics, semi-autobiographical comics, coming of age comics, superhero comics, Simpsons comics, underground comics, comics “remaking” his own comics, he’s done it all. He began his career almost touted as comics’ own Gabriel Garcia Marquez, a Literary Magical Realist, but his much of subsequent work over the years could well be read as a rebellion against that as obvious B-Movie influences frequently shoved the more Literary ones aside.

 

Psychodrama Illustrated is Hernandez’s most recent “other” ongoing work aside from Love & Rockets. It “adapts” the films of Rosalba “Fritz” Martinez, half sister of the legendary Luba and one of Gilbert’s most enduring L&R characters, while also expanding upon the family history of Fritz and co. It’s a series that essentially cuts Hernandez loose - under the conceit of creating Fritz’s “fictional” films, he can tell any story he likes, in any genre, in any style. Issue #1 intercut of “real life” with a kind of blu ray commentary track playing over sequences of a film called “Hypnotwist 2.0” (itself a “remake” of Hypnotwist which you can find in hardcover now) starring Fritz’s grandniece, Killer. Issue #2 is the lurid “Mercy and The Devil,” a B-movie in which Fritz and Killer star as “an ex-adult actress and her grifter niece.”  It’s playful, mind-bending stuff from Hernandez, recasting his characters again and again like a grindhouse Tezuka but never losing the threads of their “reality” and their own lives.

 

It’s issues #3-#4, however, that serve as a reminder of just how skilled a creator Gilbert Hernandez is. Spread over two single issues, “Little Ones” sees Fritz forced into the background, under heavy make-up and happily playing a supporting role. It’s a story that can, and should, be read as a complete stand-alone. It also shows Gilbert’s storytelling skills at their absolute peak, the kind of zero-fat comics he excels at where any extraneous, unnecessary story-baggage is shorn off.

 

“Little Ones” is an engine of comics and a masterclass of comics craft and story editing made even more remarkable by just how easy Hernandez appears to make this look. Told without captions, with an average of four very open panels per page, Hernandez spins a complex drama with baffling control, bringing to vivid life a cast of around 20 brand new characters. 

 

Let me attempt to summarise:

Near the Mexican border lies a small town known as Lagrimas. “Lagrimas means tears” we are told throughout “Little Ones,” the perfect summation of Hernandez’s noirish melodrama. Two small, lost, malnourished and possibly orphaned children, one boy and one girl, sneak their way into town. Fearful of being seen, more fearful still of any authority, the children hide out in Lagrimas, eating out of bins and desperately brainstorming ways to survive. Trump’s wall, conceived to divide Mexico from the US, is on its way. Town resident Sal plans to protest the wall, but there is division in town - the wall means labor, labor means money. Why should Lagrimas residents miss out on a pay check, particularly when Mr. Paz works for contractors rumoured for the job? Many townsfolk aren’t concerned at all about the wall, in fact there is a kind of inevitable support for it, as voiced by Alma, who taunts the Mexican-American kids in town with barbs like, “They’re going to kick you and all latinos out of the country any day now, stupid.” 


Against the backdrop of  the combined racial and economic tension the rumoured wall creates, Zak ekes out a living trying to sell drugs to townsfolk who can’t afford them while his wife Grace cleans houses bringing in enough to ensure their young son Rocky is fed. Sal becomes further determined to protest the wall, causing strife with his wife Nina who has taken to secretly feeding the lost boy and girl. Then there is “business owner” Castor who has a family of his own and while he hovers around the periphery, as things darken considerably his role in what unfolds deepens and we learn once and for all that Lagrimas truly does mean tears.

 

Clearly, “Little Ones” has a lot of characters to keep track of (there are more I’ve not even mentioned) and a lot of story to tell. It has a deep, complex conflict surrounding a very real life issue and touches on everything from refugees (or “illegals” in this case, if you will), to racial issues, to the unfortunate economic impoverishment of the working class. It builds all these characters throughout and spirals into a fairly shocking climax.

 

It somehow manages to do all this over a mere 50 pages, many of which are as decompressed and breezy to read as a fight sequence from The Authority. It’s Hernandez’s skill at picking the right moments to depict, dropping us into the exact snippets of ongoing conversations to give us exactly the information readers need that makes this all work but it’s still a pretty astonishing feat.

 

So quickly does the first chapter of “Little Ones” float by that I only truly understood how rich the story was when I first opened issue #4 (I read both issues for the first time back-to-back), found the below recap page and realised just how much the opening chapter had miraculously stuffed between its covers like some sort of magic comics girdle. 


All these characters exist in the here and the now - the is no backstory for anybody, no room for expository flab. Our mystery kids are exactly that - a mystery, just two lost kids in need of immediate and ongoing care. Are they illegal immigrants? Have the escaped something truly sinister? We never truly know.

 

I was taught that the best (literary) short stories exist in a kind of middle place, freed from the almost narrative baggage of past or future, and “Little Ones” exemplifies this perfectly. This is the kind of story that easily could be 100 pages formatted into a deluxe graphic novel, but at half that length divided into two regular comic books, “Little Ones” somehow never feels at all rushed and its quiet moments are as plentiful as its dramatic ones.

 

In terms of the story editing, this is possibly the sharpest Hernandez has been in quite some time and that’s saying something. Let’s compare with another Hernandez classic,  2013’s Julio’s Day, to see how much Hernandez’s work has evolved. Julio’s Day tells the titular character’s century-spanning life, from beginning to end, in exactly that many pages (the narrative opposite of the “middle” of “Little Ones” ). The fact that “Little Ones” is as lean as it is shows just how ruthless the artist has become with his editing over the years. “Little Ones’” pages are far more open and frequently “widescreen” than Julio’s Day. Almost reflecting the leanness of this story (and other more recent works), the fat inky brushstrokes of Julio’s Day have been largely swapped out for comparatively fine, thin lines showing far more of the stark whiteness of the page - cartooning as stripped back as story.

 

Don’t sleep on Psychodrama Illustrated. It may lack the pop culture cachet of having “A Love & Rockets Book” somewhere above the logo, but as “Little Ones” proves, even after thousands of comics pages and hundreds of stories, Gilbert Hernandez maintains his status as a maker of utterly unmissable comics. 


 

WHAT MADNESS IS THIS: STRANGE THINGS FROM THE SHELF

ULYSSES

Jacques Lob & Georges Pichard

Heavy Metal

From writer Jacques Lob and artist Georges Pichard’s mind-bending, marvellously trashy and lurid in all the right ways Ulysses comes this saucy, psychedelic panel. Originally published in the pages of Metal Hurlant in 1974, the 2006 collection from  Heavy Metal is not too hard to source should you need yourself a four colour fix. It’s basically Homer’s classic The Odyssey undergoing a glorious mid-70s drug-chic drenching. Amazing.

 


UPCOMING UNDER THE RADAR

IN PICTOPIA

Don Simpson, Mike Kazalah, Pete Poplaski, Eric Vincent and Alan Moore The Writer

Fantagraphics

Due April

So in 1986, a very popular writer by the name of Alan Moore wrote a little 8 page number called “In Fictopia.” It was published in #2 of a six-issue benefit book Fantagraphics published to help pay some hefty legal bills accrued after writer Harlan Ellison colourfully called writer Michael Fleischer, ahem, “bugfuck” and “derango” in the Comics Journal and Fleischer sued.

 

Prior to publication, artist Don Simpson (along with Kazalah, Poplaski and Vincent) changed the title to “In Pictopia” (which let’s face it, is better) and expanded it out to 13 pages. It’s one of Moore’s oldest rallying cries against the people in charge of the medium, with thinly-veiled analogues of various comic book character tropes populating a city that was once a comic book utopia, now exploited and ghettoised, a place where once thriving boroughs are demolished as they “just don’t fit the continuity no more.”

 

Considered something of a lost classic for decades now, In Pictopia is finally celebrated in a new oversized, remastered 28 page edition arriving end of April. Moore’s involvement with the book has been downplayed - even Fantagraphics’ advertising simply states “written by the era’s most adventurous mainstream writer” - likely because of how heavily Simpson took over the creative. But make no mistake, with Moore’s recent retirement there aren’t too many more works by arguably the best comics writer ever to be unearthed, particularly a work as celebrated and long lost as this.

 

 

See you soon. Read Indie.

New Comics For Week Of Wednesday 10th March


We didn't think it was possible after last week's double shipment, but this week all by itself seems like it's somehow gonna beat it! 
A crazy big list, with a huge amount of new titles we've highlighted for you to check out, it's going be a great week for comics.

If there is something extra you are after make sure to get your requests to us before 5pm Monday to give us the best chance to secure you what you are after as we'll have limited shelf stock available.

Until we next see or hear from you, stay safe, live life and read comics!
