Love & Rockets co-creator Gilbert Hernandez is on tour to promote his sublime Marble Season graphic novel (it’s an all-ages story). Peggy Burns of Drawn & Quarterly (the book’s publisher), had this to say:
As soon as Gilbert sent us his list of images for his MARBLE SEASON tour slide show, it took EVERYTHING in us to not immediately blog or tweet to tease all the great comics. And since Gilbert is half way done with his tour, and I got to see him do the slide show last night, I’ll tease you this Little Archie page. Why? Because Gilbert made the astute point that “old ladies were running it in those days, and where are the old ladies now [in pop culture]?” And he remarked, can you imagine a kids comics with two old ladies on the same page? As someone who will admit to worrying about how comics will treat her when she is an old lady, I loved it.
