Queen Of The Ring: Wrestling Drawings by Jaime Hernandez

Jaime Hernandez

As Hernandez puts it, ?It’s my Love and Rockets world that’s not my Love and Rockets world.? This best-of book spotlights the women who are often ignored in pro wrestling in 125 full color illustrations: pin-ups, action shots, fake wrestling magazine covers, all presented in a large paperback format that echoes the lucha libre magazines of the 1960s. Hernandez also discusses the work in an interview with fellow cartoonist Katie Skelly.
Despite having created one of the most expansive and remarkable casts of characters?of any cartoonist who ever lived (under the umbrella of the ongoing L&R?comic book series), acclaimed graphic novelist Jaime Hernandez ? Will?Eisner Hall of Famer; Eisner, Harvey, Ignatz, and PEN Award winner; L.A. Times?Book Prize winner; and on a very short list of contenders for the title of America’s?Greatest Living Cartoonist ? has been privately amassing a body of work that no?one else has ever seen for over 40 years. Until now.
