Love and Rockets: New Stories Number 4
If there's one thing to say about Love and Rockets, it's that as far as comics go, it is curiously addictive. Love and Rockets is the long-running black-and-white comic series by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez—an exploration of the life of chica Maggie and the ripped-from-life and put-out-there-baldly environment she occupies. I had always wanted to read it, since discovering an issue decades ago at Waldenbooks, and I had always assumed it was an examination of the L.A. punk scene of the Eighties—I think the issues back in those days, or at least the one I discovered, featured two lesbians, one of whom was depicted as a punk rocker. I remember a drawing of a post-punk gothy guy with a Cure T-shirt. Ah, nostalgia waves hit me so hard.
