The Wife of Baths
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The comic book creations of the renowned Hernandez Bros are now available in 19 paperback collections. Book 2 features the first of Gilbert Hernandez' "Heartbreak Soup Stories," where busty bathgiver Luba rocks a town "where men are men and women need a sense of humor." Also included are the wacky adventures of Jaime Hernandez' `Locas,' Maggie and Hopey, as well as "Somewhere in California" by Mario Hernandez (the one story in the book with a male lead). Often the stories are serious; mostly they're funny, but they all prove the talent of those redefining the comic book medium, again. This comic is unrated: Violence, Nudity, Adult Language, Adult Situations.
