Gilbert Hernandez, Brian Evenson

Julio's Day

On sale date: April 20, 2013

Gilbert Hernandez traces the life of a 100-year-old man from cradle to grave in this fictional graphic novel.

It begins in the year 1900, with the scream of a newborn. It ends, 100 pages later, in the year 2000, with the death rattle of a 100-year-old man. The infant and the old man are both Julio, and Gilbert Hernandez's Julio's Day is his latest graphic novel, a masterpiece of elliptical, emotional storytelling that traces one life—indeed, one century in a human life—through a series of carefully crafted, consistently surprising and enthralling vignettes.

Julio's Day is part of the Love and Rockets series.

Praise

"A haunting performance and about as perfect a literary work as I've read in years. Hernandez accomplishes in 100 pages what most novelists only dream of—rendering the closeted phlegmatic Julio in all his confounding complexity and in the process creating an unflinching biography of a community, a country and a century. A masterpiece." — Junot Díaz
