About the series
In Grip: The Strange World of Men (2002–present, DC), Gilbert Hernandez crafts a five-issue series that explores the tangled, often unsettling dynamics of masculinity and desire through a small-town lens. Known for his work on Love and Rockets, Hernandez brings his signature psychological depth and raw, expressive linework to this self-contained story, which follows a cast of characters wrestling with obsession, identity, and the strange pull of their own impulses. It's a compact but potent entry in Hernandez's oeuvre, offering a focused, unflinching look at the inner lives of men—a testament to his ability to make the personal feel universal.
