Marble Season FOC November 2, 2026

A love letter to growing up with comics from one of the art form’s great modern masters.In Marble Season, Harvey and Eisner Award winner Gilbert Hernandez revisits the golden age of the American dream and the silver age of comics. Middle child Huey stages backyard Captain America plays and treasures his older brother's comic book collection almost as much as his approval. It’s a simpler time: when shooting marbles, trading Mars Attacks cards, and the excitement of the latest comic you could get your hands on reigned supreme. This evocative story of a young family navigating cultural and neighborhood norms in a majority Latino community brings forth a snapshot of mid-century Americana that goes all too often unseen. The joyful, creative play of childhood might gradually bend under the pressure of name-calling naysayers and abusive bullies–but it certainly doesn’t break. Drawing from his own upbringing in 1960s suburban California, Hernandez delivers a modern literary classic about the redemptive and timeless power of storytelling and play.
