Luba And Her Family: A Love And Rockets Book (LOVE & ROCKETS LIBRARY GILBERT GN)

Gilbert Hernandez’ characters bid “Farewell, My Palomar” as they exit the Eden of the Central American town in Volume 10 of the Love and Rockets Library (at least for the time being). Locals have begun to drift up to the United States to seek their fortunes, but when an earthquake levels Palomar, ever-resourceful Luba and her clan are on the move once again. In the U.S. the lives of Maria’s daughters — mayor and matriarch Luba, body-builder Petra, and therapist/film star Fritz — and their families become more and more intertwined. Mischievous children’s show hostess Doralís MCs many (but not all) of the sisters’ romances, and exploits are detailed in missives from comics-loving Venus to her fierce, one-armed cousin Casimira.
