I felt that the characters developed a lot more in this, while it was a little sad to see them growing up and changing it was done very well. What really begins to shine through is the heavy influence of Archie comics on Hernandez's art, specifically the similarities in style he shares with Dan DeCarlo, generally regarded as the man that shaped the contemporary look of the Archie characters, starting in the late 50s.

In 1982, Groth republished the inaugural issue; the first series ofLove and Rockets ran for fifty issues, ending in 1996. All issues in the orig- inal volume were magazine-size, and the comics were black and white.

  • LOCAS: the MAGGIE and HOPEY STORIES by Jaime Hernandez Study Guide Written by Art Baxter
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators STUDY GUIDE: LOCAS: THE MAGGIE AND HOPEY STORIES by Jaime Hernandez Study guide written by Art Baxter Introduction Comic books were in the midst of change by the early 1980s. The Marvel, DC and Archie lines were going through the same tired motions being produced by second and third generation artists and writers who grew up reading the same books they were now creating. Comic book specialty shops were growing in number and a new "non- returnable" distribution system had been created to supply them. This opened the door for publishers who had small print runs, with color covers and black and white interiors, to emerge with an alternative to corporate mainstream comics. These new comics were often a cross between the familiar genres of the mainstream and the personal artistic freedom of underground comics, but sometimes something altogether different would appear. In 1976, Harvey Pekar began self-publishing his annual autobiographical comics collection, American Splendor, with art by R. Crumb and others, from his home in Cleveland, Ohio. Other cartoonists self-published their mainstream- rejected comics, like Cerebus (Dave Sim, 1977) and Elfquest (Wendy & Richard Pini, 1978) to financial and critical success. With proto-graphic novel publisher, Eclipse, mainstream rebels produced explicit versions of their earlier work, such as Sabre (Don McGreggor & Paul Gulacy, 1978) and Stewart the Rat (Steve Gerber & Gene Colan, 1980). Underground comics evolved away from sex and drugs toward maturity in two anthologies, RAW (Art Spiegleman & Francoise Mouly, eds., 1980) and Weirdo (R. Crumb, ed., 1981). Under the Fantagraphics Books imprint, Gary Groth and Kim Thompson began to publish comics which aspired to an artistic quality that lived up to the high standard set forth in the pages of their critical magazine, The Comics Journal.

  • How to Kill a by Isabel Ruebens Jaime Hernandez
    T H E B / O R D E R O F T H I N G S How to Kill a By Isabel Ruebens Jaime Hernandez Heralded in the comics community for his stories about punk rockers, lesbian aliens, and rocket-repair mechanics, Jaime Hernandez continues to publish fiction for Fantagraphics Books. His tale of writer Isabel “Izzy” Ruebens reproduced here is the stuff of comic legend and a remarkable piece of storytelling from one of a pair of gifted American artists who Chicano theory guru Ramon Saldívar has called “the best read Chicano writers in the United States.” 252 T H E B / O R D E R O F T H I N G S 253 T H E B / O R D E R O F T H I N G S 254 T H E B / O R D E R O F T H I N G S 255 T H E B / O R D E R O F T H I N G S After Thought/s Jaime Hernandez and the B/ordered Psychocultural Terrain of a Latina Writer William A. Nericcio Jaime (“How to Kill a By Isabel Ruebens) and Gilbert Hernandez( “Errata Stigmata”) have transformed the comic book medium via their serialized graphic narratives in production since the early 1980's. While Los Brothers Hernandez (as they are known to their readers/spectators) have been influenced by developments in their own field, they are as likely to cite Picasso, Nietzsche, García Márquez, Klee, Kahlo, or Modotti as they are Disney or Archie comics (in particular Dan de Carlo of Betty and Veronica fame) as figures who have influenced their development.

Introduction 1 In the graphic novel God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls (2012), about a multi- ethnic group of female superheroes, writer-artist Jaime Hernandez offers a compelling example of the creator who uses his own subjectivity as a mode of textual production. By marrying his childhood love of Silver Age superhero comic books to the autobiographical qualities of alternative comic books, Hernandez actualizes his dual hyphenated subjectivities of pro-fan and Mexican-American. In the process, he collapses a number of other binaries: the past and the present, the mundane and the fantastic, and the private and the public. In turning to the superhero genre, historically so heavily invested in idealizing a white, heteronormative American identity (that proverbial “truth, justice, and the American way”), Hernandez successfully subverts the homogenizing strategies of national rhetoric and of mass culture.

  • Not Funnies by Charles Mcgrath
    NY Times | http://www.nytimes.com/2004/07/11/magazine/11GRAPHIC.html 11 July 2004 Not Funnies By Charles Mcgrath ou can’t pinpoint it exactly, but there was a moment when people more or less Ystopped reading poetry and turned instead to novels, which just a few genera- tions earlier had been considered entertainment suitable only for idle ladies of uncertain morals. The change had surely taken hold by the heyday of Dickens and Tennyson, which was the last time a poet and a novelist went head to head on the best-seller list. Someday the novel, too, will go into decline—if it hasn’t already—and will become, like poetry, a genre treasured and created by just a relative few. This won’t happen in our lifetime, but it’s not too soon to wonder what the next new thing, the new literary form, might be. It might be comic books. Seriously. Comic books are what novels used to be—an accessible, vernacular form with mass appeal—and if the highbrows are right, they’re a form perfectly suited to our dumbed-down culture and collective attention deficit. Comics are also enjoying a renaissance and a newfound respectability right now. In fact, the fastest-growing section of your local bookstore these days is apt to be the one devoted to comics and so-called graphic novels. It is the overcrowded space way in the back—next to sci-fi probably, or between New Age and hobbies—and unless your store is staffed by someone unusually devoted, this section is likely to be a mess.

  • Comics, Cartoons, and Graphic Storytelling
    NACAE National Association of Comics Art Educators Media in Cultural Context: Comics, Cartoons, and Graphic Storytelling "Comics are just words and pictures. You can do anything with words and pictures." -- Harvey Pekar This is a course about words, pictures, and stories. We hope over the term to map as broad a range of different things you can do with words and pictures as possible. Our central focus will be on two important strands of graphic storytelling -- comix (understood as both comic strips and comic books) and cartoons (understood as moving images). We will also be looking along the way at other forms of graphic storytelling, ranging from tapestries to children's book illustrations. We will be examining some of the groundbreaking work which helped define comics as a medium in the early part of the 20th century as well as cutting edge work in classical and contemporary comic books (both independent and mainstream). We will be talking about superheros and funny animals, since they have been at the heart of the American comics tradition, but we will be reading a broad range of work which has nothing to do with either genres. We will be looking at issues of visual style, narrative and narration, myth and genre, authorship, ideology, and audience. A word of warning: comics are expensive and we are going to be reading lots and lots of them, so the course readings are going to be astronomically expensive compared with any other CMS subject you have taken before. I will be working with the class to make this material as accessible as possible, but be ready to explain to your parents why you just spent several hundred dollars on funnybooks.
