A fresh take on timeless tales!

For the past 40 years, acclaimed graphic novelist Jaime Hernandez has been creating a Love and Rockets-adjacent world -- set in the heyday of 1960s and '70s women's wrestling and lucha libre! -- with an entirely separate cast of characters who have aged and evolved: the beautiful and brutal Bettie Rey, the I.F.W. Pacific Women's Champion -- a.k.a. Golden Girl -- as well as former champions Pantera Negra, Miss Kitty Perez, and many more.

A standalone graphic novel that shines a light on the family tree of one of Hernandez's most memorable characters of the past several years, the teenager Tonta.

In the follow-up to the LA Book Prize-winning The Love Bunglers, the Locas get the band back together--literally.

A fresh take on timeless tales!

The sublime, the superpowered, and the senior citizen converge in Angels and Magpies, which collects God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls and Love Bunglers storylines from the Love and Rockets: New Stories series. Love Bunglers is held as Hernandez''s greatest masterpiece in his 30 year career, and one of the great graphic novels of all time. This collection also includes Hernandez''s 2006 serial for the New York Times.

Contains the critically acclaimed and award-winning short comic "Browntown," as well as other stories chronicling the life and loves of Maggie.

The first in a series of volumes collecting the Love and Rocketsstories of spunky Maggie, her brash best friend and sometimes loverHopey, and their friends. These are the earliest, punkiest, mostheavily sci-fi stories.

Maggie og Hopey er et par charmerende og øretæveindbydende punktøser i LA-forstaden Hoppers. De lever livet på en baggrund af koncerter, fester, fyre og narrestreger, men blandes ind i et oprør mellem rivaliserende bander af chicanos med dødeligt udfald.Jaime Hernandez’ historier om Maggie og Hopey kommer nu endelig komplet på dansk. Han og hans bror Gilbert har stået fadder til den grafiske roman og har de sidste tredive år leveret den ene mesterlige fortælling efter den anden samt vundet adskillige Eisner og Harvey Awards.“En af de mest talentfulde kunstnere, vores kultur har frembragt.”– The New York Times Book Review

Jaime Hernandez har i nogle-og-tredive år tegnet på sin version af the great American (graphic) novel: Fortællingen om punktøserne Maggie og Hopey. Undervejs har han for sine historier vundet et utal af Harvey og Eisner Awards i sit hjemland. I Har du set mig? går Maggie og Hopey fra hinanden efter i årevis at have været det uadskillelige kærestepar blandt vennerne på L.A.’s punkscene. Begge kastes ud i prøvelser, der truer dem på livet, og uden hinandens støtte overmandes de næsten af voksenlivets kompromitterende kompleksitet, mens de prøver at genfinde deres ungdoms frihed – eller i det mindste hinanden.
