New Love #4

May 1997 · Fantagraphics · 2.95 USD; 3.95 CAD
“Drink, Fucker!”

In "Drink, Fucker!", Gilbert Hernandez crafts a sharp, bittersweet slice of life where love and miscommunication collide in the aisles of a comic book store. Venus, convinced she’s found romance with the clerk Carlos, is shattered when she sees him with Kat—only to learn the truth is even more tangled, as Petra, caught in her own secret affair, erupts in fury when Carlos ends things. With Hernandez’s signature blend of humor and melancholy, the story unfolds in his unmistakable style, both in the interior and on the cover by the same hand.
