Earth, Sun, Moon.

As a latecomer to the whole Love And Rockets thing¹, I’m more excited than I have any real right to be over the forthcoming Ignatz title from Gilberto Hernandez, New Tales of Old Palomar. Set when most of the Palomar cast were children, this three-chapter miniseries debuts in September with issues coming in six-month intervals. Deep amongst the long boxes of a certain comics shop, Mike Sterling is smiling even as he sorts through Midnight Sons issues to stick up on eBay.

Joining Beto are Marco Corona doing a title called Reflections and Richard Sala’s take on Snow White, Delphine. I’ve never seen Corona’s work before, but I do hope I can find a translation of his Frida Kahlo — Una Biografia Surreale sometime soon, as that sounds right up my alley. Anyway, you can find out more by visiting this entry at Flog!, the Fantagraphics Blog.

While I’m speaking of fine, fine graphic novels, I should point out that the NBM edition of Bluesman Volume 1 is hitting shelves this week. If you want to know what I think of this, go read my review from six weeks back.

¹I’m actually still working my way through Locas after blowing through Palomar in a week. I am deeply ashamed.
