About the Author:
Jaime Hernandez is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning cartoonist and a lifelong Los Angelean.
Review:
“A great, sprawling American novel... makes Gotham and Metropolis seem as bland as Scranton.”
- GQ
“These beautifully drawn stories feature some of the most believable, diverse, and indelible characters in the history of comics. 'The Return of Ray D.' and 'Spring 1982' changed my life, and are still among my favorite short stories in any medium.”
- Adrian Tomine (Killing and Dying, Shortcomings)
“I liked seeing the progression and development of the series (it was started in the 80s). The art is fantastic and H.O.P.P.E.R.S. stands as a complete world unto itself.”
- Jillian Tamaki, Canada Reads (CBC Radio)
“Everything Jaime does is genius, but I thought Ghost of HOPPERS was especially strong. Maybe my favorite since Wigwam Bam.”
- M. Ace, Irregular Orbit
“Jaime’s illustration is beautiful and effortless. His characters mix a near perfect clear-line style with cartoonish expression, used with particular aplomb when emotions are running high. It’s a masterclass in comic illustration.”

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 25th anniversary Love and Rockets celebration continues with this, the second of three volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie; her annoying, pixie-ish best friend and sometime lover Hopey; and their circle of friends, including their bombshell friend Penny Century, Maggie's weirdo mentor Izzy as well as the aging but still heroic wrestler Rena Tita on and Maggie's handsome love interest, Rand Race. After the sci-fi trappings of his earliest stories (as seen in Maggie the Mechanic, the first volume in this series), Hernandez refined his approach, settling on the more naturalistic environment of the fictional Los Angeles barrio, Hoppers, and the lives of the young Mexican-Americans and punk rockers who live there. A central story and one of Jaime's absolute peaks is "The Death of Speedy." Such is Jaime's mastery that even though the end of the story is telegraphed from the very title, the downhill spiral of Speedy, the local heartthrob, is utterly compelling and ultimately quite surprising. Also in this volume, Maggie begins her on-again off-again romance with Ray D., leading to friction and an eventual separation from Hopey. (Note: A number of these stories, including a whole cycle of wrestling stories starring or co-starring Rena Tita on, were not collected in the hardcover Locas.) The 25th anniversary celebration of the Love and Rockets series continues with the second of three volumes, collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie, her annoying best friend Hopey, and their circle of intimates. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781560978510
