Palomar: The Heartbreak Soup Stories (A Love and Rockets Book) (2003)

Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories from the first volume of Love and Rockets, gathered in one hardcover of more than 500 pages. They follow a small town in an unnamed Central American country, with Luba, a businesswoman raising seven children, at the center of a huge cast. It reads like a family saga novel: you finish one story and the next is about someone you met in passing two hundred pages back. The bold black-and-white art is easy on a tablet. Expect frank sex and violence.
