More Comics Luba #8 by Gilbert Hernandez By LJ Douresseau January 18, 2005 - 15:30 Publisher(s): Fantagraphics Books Writer(s): Gilbert Hernandez, Penciller(s): Gilbert Hernandez Cover Artist(s): Gilbert Hernandez In LUBA #8, Gilbert Hernandez displays the kind of attention to detail, depth of subject matter, and density of narrative, both in his writing and his comix illustrations, that not only mark him as a master cartoonist, but also as one of the few novelists who have chosen comics instead of the written word as their medium. Luba is on the surface and at its heart, a melodrama, but Hernandez’s examination of personal failure, fear, and naked wanting is unique in comics. Gilbert, often overshadowed by the immensity of his brother Jaime’s drawing prowess, is comics best writer. A- © Copyright 2002-2019 by Toon Doctor Inc. - All rights Reserved.
