Marble Season

Marble Season is a graphic novel by American cartoonist Gilbert Hernandez, published by Drawn & Quarterly in 2013.

The story is set in the 1960s and focuses on Huey, the middle of three Mexican-American brothers.

[1] It deals with typical childhood concerns, such as the games they play, the groups they belong to, and obsessions with pop culture.

[2] Much as in Hernandez's Palomar stories, the narrative wanders in and out of various threads and frequently shifts focus between scenes and characters.

[3] In contrast to the sexually explicit, violent work on which his reputation rests, Hernandez wanted to create a book that was appropriate for young readers, and drew much of the narrative from his own childhood memories.
