Measles #8
In "El Cabezón," Gilbert Hernandez spins a dreamlike tale where Venus steps outside her world and encounters a series of figures all named after real-life cartoonists, blurring the line between imagination and identity. With Hernandez handling every aspect of the interior art, lettering, and writing, the story unfolds with his signature blend of surrealism and quiet observation. The cover, a collaborative effort by Jaime Hernandez, Ribs, Joost Swarte, and Gilbert Hernandez, captures the story’s offbeat, layered energy.
