Sloth Hardcover

From Gilbert Hernandez, the award-winning co-creator of Love & Rockets - the series that defined alternative comics - comes Sloth, Hernandez's first original graphic novel, presented in breathtaking black and white by Vertigo.

Troubled teenager Miguel Serra becomes a walking urban legend after he wills himself into a coma and wakes up one year later virtually unchanged - except for his sloth-like pace.

Discover how a haunted lemon orchard, a mysterious goatman and murder collide as Miguel, his girlfriend Lita and their friend Romeo take on the teenage wasteland of suburbia.

Will it be love or rock-and-roll suicide? Find out in Sloth , a surrealistic romantic drama in the spirit of David Lynch that takes the art of sequential storytelling to new heights in its use of light and shadow.

If for some reason you've never strayed into Love & Rockets or Los Bros Hernandez territory yet then this is your chance - and you should take it because both the Hernandez brothers are among the most innovative creators working in comics.
