In \u003ci\u003eOfelia\u003c\/i\u003e, the sisters, the kids, and the cousins are all settled comfortably in California after leaving Palomar in Luba and Her Family. Luba’s and her cousin Ofelia's relationship has always been fraught, but when Ofelia threatens to write a book about Luba, past memories, secrets, resentments, and pain resurface. Meanwhile, Luba's children — genius Socorro, recently out-and-proud Doralis, and prickly Maricela — show that a talent for trouble may be hereditary. Luba's sisters, Fritz and Petra, swap lovers (as usual), but … are Fritz and family friend Pipo sittin' in a tree? These vividly drawn characters are charged with Hernandez's trademark complexity; they live, love, age, fight— and die—in this sweeping, multi-generational saga.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilbert Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1957 in Oxnard, California, and is considered one of the greatest living comics writer-artists in the world. In 1982, Hernandez co-created, along with his brothers Mario and Jaime, the ongoing, iconic, internationally acclaimed comic book series \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the greatest bodies of work the medium has ever seen. In addition to his work on \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, its spinoffs, and side series, Hernandez has released a prodigious amount of original graphic novels and miniseries, such as \u003ci\u003eSloth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBumperhead\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMarble Season\u003c\/i\u003e. He also collaborated with Darwyn Cooke on \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Children\u003c\/i\u003e for DC. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2017 and is the recipient of a Fellow Award from United States Artists and a PEN Center USA’s Graphic Literature Award for Outstanding Body of Work. Hernandez lives in Ventura, CA, with his wife and daughter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556077523105,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781606998069","price":26.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781606998069.jpg?v=1781804755","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/ofelia-paperback-by-gilbert-hernandez","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
