Sloth - Tapa dura

"* "Hernandez is a master of facial expression and body language... an extraordinary, eccentric and very literary cartoonist." - Publishers Weekly * "The graphic equivalent to the fabulism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel laureate." - The Times (on Palomar) * "A high point in the comics form, conventional in idiom, but not comparable to any strips before it." - The Washington Post (on Palomar)"

From the award-winning co-creator of legendary underground comic "Love & Rockets" comes "Sloth", a surrealistic romantic drama set against a background of haunted lemon orchards, teenage love affairs, and darkness on the edge of town. When troubled teenager Miguel Serra decides to induce himself into a coma, he awakens one year later a shadow of his former self. Revered as an urban legend, and slothful in appearance and movement, he embarks on a journey across a desolate suburban wasteland where the answers to his problems are rarely forthcoming. With a host of off-beat characters and unusual situations, this beautifully illustrated voyage into a Lynchean world guarantees to knock you out! Warning: adults only!
