July 1993. The first collected version of the story that I consider Gilbert Hernandez's magnum opus, originally serialized in LOVE & ROCKETS #31–#39 between 1989 and 1992. A dense multi-character drama set in Los Angeles in the period between the U.S. invasion of Panama and the first Gulf War, it has some ties to Hernandez's ongoing Palomar saga (for instance, one of its central characters is Luba's daughter Maricela, who has fled her mother's homophobia to eke out a marginal existence in L.A. with her girlfriend), but it's certainly the most accessible of his storylines, requiring no particular knowledge of the rest. (Fantagraphics now compiles it in Vol. 6 of its LOVE & ROCKETS collections, BEYOND PALOMAR, along with POISON RIVER, which was published roughly concurrently, but is a very different animal.) The story's exploration of sexuality, race, and racial conflicts stands comparison with the best films from and about that time, without exploitation, sentimentality, or melodrama. While the art is never as pretty as Jaime Hernandez's Locas saga, the storytelling is virtuosic: a master class in how to craft a modern comic book story set in vividly realized real places without ever becoming bogged down in photo-referenced detail, with characters whose most complex emotions are delineated with seemingly effortless precision.
