But the only real demons these characters face are personal ones.\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first story collection in Gilbert Hernandez’s Palomar saga to take place after the events of 2010’s High Soft Lisp is torn from the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories, Love and Rockets Vol. IV, and Psychodrama Illustrated—and expanded with 14 new pages! In Lovers and Haters, 50-year-old cult movie actress Fritz, in addition to her alcoholism and the ups and downs of her career, must also contend with a controlling lover, Danny; a jealous rival, Mila; a score of younger Fritz imitators, a sex cult; and mad scientists. Also in her orbit is her niece, Killer (sometimes literally, as seen in a Doctor Who-inspired TV show), a teen actress trying to launch a singing career while solving math problems. The specter of Fritz’s mother, Maria — also a cult movie actress — haunts them all with her beauty from beyond the grave.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a sprawling cast, Lovers and Haters is about mothers and daughters, aunts and nieces, complex and often toxic relationships, artists and exploiters, personas and obsessions. It reads like an X-rated The Substance mixed with Mommy Dearest and Performance, with an added dash of giallo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OK Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55378121359734,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0382\/1803\/9340\/files\/9798875000980_800_360x_3284121e-7e49-4011-a79b-076d36c8ee20.webp?v=1741891080","url":"https:\/\/okcomics.co.uk\/products\/lovers-and-haters-a-love-and-rockets-book-by-gilbert-hernandez","provider":"OK Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
