The Children of Palomar

American comic compilation

The Children of Palomar is a comics compilation by American cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez, published in 2013. It collects five stories originally published in 2006 and 2007[1] in the three-issue series New Tales of Old Palomar.[2]

The stories and vignettes of The Children of Palomar take place in Hernandez's fictional Latin American village of Palomar, the setting of many of his early stories.[3] They feature many of the characters from these older stories, such as Tonantzin, Diana, Chelo, and Pipo at different times in their lives.[1] The narratives focus primarily on the female characters, and include elements of magic realism.[3]

In an interview in 2007, Hernandez stated he would cease creating stories set in Palomar; he said he had "finally outgrown the place".[2]
