Amor y Cohetes

內容簡介

The "Love and Rockets" library continues with this special volume. To a very great extent, "Love and Rockets" is synonymous with Hoppers' Maggie and Hopey and Palomar's Luba and Carmen and Heraclio and Tonantzin... but there was always more to "LandR" than that. "Amor y Cohetes" finally collects together in one convenient package all the non-Maggie and non-Palomar stories by all three Hernandez Brothers from that classic first, 50-issue "Love and Rockets" series--a dizzying array of styles and approaches that re-confirms these groundbreaking cartoonists' place in the history of comics. The book leads off with Gilbert's original 40-page sci-fi epic "BEM" from 1981's very first issue of "Love and Rockets," featuring a very different Luba and a much looser, "Heavy Metal" and Marvel Comics-inspired way of storytelling. Other stories include Jaime's charming "Rocky and Fumble" series starring a planet-hopping girl and her robot; stunning one-shots such as Gilbert's Frida Kahlo biography "Frida" and his shocking autobiographical fantasia "My Love Book"; Mario's genre thrillers which take place "Somewhere in California"; Gilbert's brutally dystopian "Errata Stigmata" stories; the playful "Hernandez Satyricon," with Gilbert drawing Jaime's characters, and "War Paint," with Jaime trying out Palomar; Gilbert's light-hearted "Music for Monsters" starring Bang and Inez; and even a fantastical "non-continuity" Maggie and Hopey story "Easter Hunt" by Jaime that didn't fit into the other books. "Amor y Cohetes"," the seventh (and concluding, for now) volume in the new "Complete "Love and Rockets" series of compact, affordable paperbacks, shows a very different side of Los Bros Hernandez.
