{"product_id":"palomar-the-heartbreak-soup-stories","title":"Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories","description":"Palomar is the perfect entry into the works of critically acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez and the still-ongoing Love and Rockets comic book series! 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, a forceful, sexy single mother, moves there to set up a bathing business. 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.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57513538486645,"sku":"9798875002663","price":43.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798875002663.jpg?v=1787220305","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/palomar-the-heartbreak-soup-stories","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
