Gilbert & Jaime Hernandez’s ‘Love & Rockets’ virtually defined alternative comics in the 80s. Now, more popular than ever thanks to the re-launch of his seminal comic book series earlier this year, Gilbert releases his first graphic novel since the re-launch, which spotlights the artist’s most beloved character in a year when her creator is appearing on the pages of Time, Vibe and the L.A. Times. This collection is an awesome blend of political intrigue, sexuality and Gilbert’s characteristically human portrayal of his characters. Illustrated in b/w throughout.
