Love and Rockets cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez returns with Bumperhead, a companion book to Marble Season

Gilbert's new book follows Bobby, a young slacker who narrates his life as it happens but offers very little reflection on the events that transpire

Bobby lives in the moment exclusively, and is incapable of seeing the world outside of his experiences

He comes of age in the 1970s, making a rapid progression through that era's different subcultures; in a short period of time he segues from a stoner glam-rocker to a drunk rocker to a speed-freak punk

He drifts in and out of relationships with friends, both male and female

Life zooms past him

Hernandez's approach captures the numbness and raw undirected anger and passion of a young man; a young man who waits for life to happen to him, not noticing all the while that it's happening.
