In book one, "Children of Palomar," thieves steal food from wherever they can grab it the quickest, then take off like lightning, but nobody seems to be able to catch the bandits in action until Pipo puts her soccer-trained legs to work and goes after them herself. In book two the children of the town explore a seemingly bottomless chasm outside the village. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled with Dust Jacket), 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $7.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. Story and art by Gilbert Hernandez. Gilbert Hernandez returns to that funky little Central American hamlet of his with another story set in the "Sopa de Gran Pena" days starring "The Children of Palomar" - in this case the obnoxious and picked-on Gato (whom LR fans will remember as Pipo's husband-to-be), Soledad, Guero, Pintor, and Arturo. The quintet of troublemakers' explorations across a bottomless chasm results in two of the kids coming face to face with... well, we won't spoil the surprise. But Sheriff Chelo is on the case and saves the day! With the very earliest Palomar stories recently released in a redesigned and affordable format in the Heartbreak Soup volume, these new stories of Palomar come along at the perfect time, and the superswanky Ignatz format provides Beto with a perfect canvas.

Volume 3 - 1st printing. Story and art by Gilbert Hernandez. The final installment of New Tales of Old Palomar focuses on the gorgeous but troubled Tonantzin.

What is the baby's link to the giant stone idols that stand outside the town? Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled with Dust Jacket), 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $7.95.
