Synopses & Reviews
The original, seminal Love & Rockets comic book series, which ran for 50 issues from 1981 to 1996, singlehandedly defined the post-underground generation of comics that spawned Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and so many others. Now collected into 15 volumes, Love & Rockets is a body of work that The Nation has described as "one of the hidden treasures of our impoverished culture." Created by brothers Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario Hernandez, three Southern California Mexican-Americans armed with a passion for pop culture and punk rock, Love & Rockets gave a voice to minorities and women for the first time in the medium's then 50-year history and remains one of the greatest achievements in comic book history.
Synopsis
This concluding volume collects the "unclassifiable" stuff from the previous three years, including the stories where Jaime and Gilbert drew each other's characters. It's easily the wildest and most outlandish volume yet, featuring lots of hard-to-find stories, illustrations, and special features, including Gilbert's experimental, autobiographical "My Love Book," Jaime's adaptation of stories written as a child, and the glorious return of wayward brother Mario!
Synopsis
The final Vol. 1 collection, with uncollected stories from the previous three years. Easily the wildest and most outlandish volume!
