{ "item_title" : "Palomar", "item_author" : [" Gilbert Hernandez "], "item_description" : "Palomar is the perfect entry into the works of critically acclaimed cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez and the still-ongoing Love and Rockets comic book seriesIt stars the inhabitants of a small Latin American town -- long-suffering midwife/sheriff Chelo; Pipo, tomboy-turned-heartthrob; Carmen, wryer than her years; teen boys Heraclio, Satch, Augustin, Jesus, Israel, and Vicente, whose paths diverge and intersect over time; Diana and Tonantzin, sisters and polar opposites; and many other finely drawn and dynamic characters -- whose already-tempestuous lives are roiled when Luba, an assertive single mother, moves there to set up a bathing business. Palomar is a selection from the first 50 issues (1985-1996) of Hernandez's multigenerational saga, which has followed the lives and loves, adventures and horrors, of his signature characters, their children, and their children's children -- borne from a place where the mystical is quotidian and the quotidian is mystical -- for 40+ years. These are the stories that forever changed the face (and the heart) of American comics.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers4.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/887/500/9798875002663_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "49.99", "online_price" : "49.99", "our_price" : "49.99", "club_price" : "49.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
