Children of Palomar and Other Tales (the fifteenth volume in our continuing series The Complete Love and Rockets Library and the eighth Gilbert volume) begins with Me for the Unknown, uncollected since its original 20012004 run in the Love and Rockets Vol. II comic books. Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a boat rigged to explode clutching a satchel filled with important papers. Presumed dead, he decides to assume a new identity. But he is pursued by an imperious CEO and his manservant through a land plagued by colonialist/corporate greed, which fomented political unrest. In the New Tales of Old Palomar short stories (20062007) previously collected as The Children of Palomar there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. Then, there are a selection of eclectic, oneoff shorts, also previously uncollected, that ran in Love and Rockets Vol. III New Stories from 20082013, such as Papa, The New Adventures of Duke and Sammy, and much more.
