  <default_description>&lt;B&gt;The legendary &lt;i&gt;Love &amp; Rockets&lt;/i&gt; comic book series returns to bookshelves in a comprehensive series of new paperbacks.&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, &lt;I&gt;Love and Rockets&lt;/I&gt; will finally be released in its most accessible form yet: as a series of compact, thick, affordable, mass-market volumes that present the whole story in perfect chronological order. This volume will collect the first half of Gilbert Hernandez's acclaimed magical-realist tales of &quot;Palomar,&quot; the small Central American town, beginning with the groundbreaking &quot;Sopa de Gran Pena&quot; (which introduces most of his main cast of characters as children, plus the imposing newcomer Luba), and continuing on through such modern-day classics as &quot;Ecce Homo,&quot; &quot;Act of Contrition,&quot; &quot;Duck Feet,&quot; and the great love story &quot;For the Love of Carmen.&quot;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The facebook app won't let me give any stars to this book, but trust me, if I could, I'd give it five. A rare work which manages both epic grandeur and a vividly real representation of everyday minutia, relationships, and growth. or something like that. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[couldn't get into it, although i only gave it to page 30.  it was like watching a movie with bad subtitles.  too much work.  i didn't find the artwork or the story nearly as intricate and enthralling as fun home.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Louis de Bernieres had a comics love child with the most magnificent set of <em>tetas</em> you've ever seen. I liked <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q=Locas" title="Locas">Locas</a> fine, but I love Palomar.]]></body>
