This volume of \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Love and Rockets Library\u003c\/em\u003e, written and drawn by all three Hernandez brothers, collects all the stories that didn't fit into the Locas and Palomar storylines from that classic first, 50-issue run. It's a dizzying array of styles, genres, and approaches that re-confirms these groundbreaking cartoonists' place in the history of comics. It begins with Gilbert's original 40-page sci-fi epic \"BEM\" from 1981's self-published first issue of \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring a very different Luba and a much looser, \u003cem\u003eHeavy Metal\u003c\/em\u003e 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 and his shocking autobiographical fantasia \"My Love Book\"; Mario's genre thrillers which take place \"Somewhere in California\"; Gilbert's brutally dystopian \"Errata Stigmata\"; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 283\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.85 x 9.14 x 7.51 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2008\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51771556856096,"sku":"9781560979265","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/e910cae5aa1c3d28eb482f2d6b47709b.webp?v=1780388349","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/amor-y-cohetes-a-love-and-rockets-book-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
