Fantagraphics has announced they are publishing Roy #1, an uncanny new comic book series from Gilbert and Natalia Hernandez, on August 6th!
The Hernandez family’s role in the history of comics is undeniable. With Love and Rockets, Gilbert Hernandez, along with his younger brother Jaime (and occasionally his older brother, Mario) have pushed the boundaries of what comics can do. In Roy #1, the family’s legacy expands, as Gilbert teams up with his daughter, Natalia!
The first issue of Roy sees Gilbert’s mustached ball of positivity teaming up with the Little Stunt Boy to deal with Roy’s arch nemesis — the Froat! Or, should we say: the Froats?!? They’re multiplying, they’re wearing board shorts, they’re hopping, they’re popping. Roy has a plan, and that plan involves bringing in some for real Tier One Operators.
Nuns!
Meanwhile, Natalia delivers a surreal eight-pager detailing an Alien spiritual encounter…because sometimes, when you hear a noise late at night, it may not be something as bucolic as a traditional cow tipping. It could be a for real X-Files type scenario! Granny? Get your gun!
