Gilbert + Natalia Hernandez would like you to meet ‘Roy’

The new series by the father and daughter team will debut in August.

Gilbert Hernandez of Los Bros. Hernandez fame will team with another family member for a new comic series this summer — his daughter, Natalia.

The father-and-daughter duo are the creative behind Roy, a new series that will debut in April from Fantagraphics, publishers of the Hernandez Bros. long-running Love & Rockets (and other titles).

“Is there anything Roy can’t do?
