The Hernandez family’s role in the history of comics is undeniable. With Love and Rockets<\/em>, Gilbert Hernandez, along with his younger brother Jaime (and occasionally his older brother, Mario) have pushed the boundaries of what comics can do. In Roy<\/em> #1, the family’s legacy expands, as Gilbert teams up with his daughter, Natalia! Fan favorite everyman Roy returns in a two-part story, teaming up with the Little Stunt Boy to deal with Roy’s arch nemesis \u2014 the Froat! Or, should we say: the Froats?!? They’re multiplying! Meanwhile, Natalia delivers a surreal eight-pager detailing an Alien spiritual encounter! It’s a family affair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arriving August 6th \u2014 ROY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

“Is there anything Roy can’t do? Of course not, he’s a comic book character, duh! In the hands of a master like Gilbert Hernandez, anything is possible, and Roy is the perfect vehicle for his limitless imagination. The Hernandezes are America’s First Family of Comics, and that ROY<\/em> #1 also welcomes Natalia Hernandez into the Love and Rockets <\/em>fold makes the occasion extra special!”<\/p>\nEric Reynolds: VP Fantagraphics<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The first issue of Roy sees Gilbert\u2019s mustached ball of positivity teaming up with the Little Stunt Boy to deal with Roy’s arch nemesis \u2014 the Froat! Or, should we say: the Froats?!? They’re multiplying, they\u2019re wearing board shorts, they\u2019re hopping, they\u2019re popping. Roy has a plan, and that plan involves bringing in some for real Tier One Operators. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nuns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
