“Enrique García presents a cutting-edge, graphic narrative project that situates the work of the Hernandez Brothers in twentieth and early twenty-first century American print, literary, and popular culture. He contextualizes them in terms of their comic and literary contemporaries, and dynamically summarizes key elements of their storytelling history.”
—William Nericcio, San Diego State University
“This excellent study of the popular alternative Latino comics by Los Bros Hernandez focuses on storytelling, themes, visual representation, and narrative techniques in these important comics and graphic novels. It examines the negotiations of ethnic identity, latinidad, and gender and sexuality, offering close readings of selected texts to undergird the analysis. Students of language, literature, art, ethnic studies, cultural studies, and U.S. Latino studies will enjoy this book.” —Ellen McCracken, University of California, Santa Barbara
“Em todo caso, pelo conjunto da obra, torna-se desde já uma referência obrigatória a todo pesquisador interessado em compreender a história recente das articulações entre arte, política e identidades culturais nas HQs latino-americanas. . . . E o livro em si é criativo do ponto de vista narrativo e de sua organização interna, ao mesclar entrevistas e assumir a experiência pessoal como componente relevante para justificar o trabalho, na medida em que García posiciona-se como um fã de revistas e graphic novel.” —Latin American Research Review
