Locas: Maggie 1 - 1st printing. One of the most humane, graceful and imaginatively inexhaustible artists in American popular culture, Jaime Hernandez has created in Locas one of the great American novels of the last 25 years, graphic or otherwise. Maggie's story begins in the earlys Southern California rock scene, when it was shifting from the excesses of glitter rock to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. She quickly befriends Hopey Glass, a feisty anti-authoritarian punkette who quickly becomes Maggie's on-again, off-again lover and a constant presence in her life throughout the book. Volume 1 - 2nd and later printings. Volume 2 - 1st printing. Even though her love life remains as chaotic as ever, Hopey takes her first few steps toward responsible adulthood with a real job as a teacherwhile a depressed, divorced Maggie ends up as the manager of a fleabag apartment building, where she continues to wrestle with the demons of her past - most prominently in the stunning centerpiece of Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 volume, the graphic novel-length "Ghost of Hoppers," with its hallucinatory dream finale. On the "guy" side Ray, still carrying a major torch for Maggie, falls in with the "Frogmouth," the volatile bombshell arguably the sexiest woman Jaime has ever drawn, which is saying something whose ties to local thugs cause some hairy Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 indeed. Of course, Maggie, Hopey, and Ray's paths continue to intersect in Jaime's increasingly complex, always richly imagined world, along with those Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 characters both old Izzy Ortiz, Locas: Maggie Century and new the jockette Angel, the mysterious superheroine Alarma. By Gilbert Hernandez. Palomar is the mythical Central American town where these stories take place, and Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 stories weave in and out of Locas: Maggie entire population, crafting an intricate tapestry of not only Latin American but also human experience. Hardcover, 9-in. When Gilbert Hernandez climaxed his award-winning "Palomar" series at the end of Love and Rockets' original run by leveling the tiny Central American hamlet, many disappointed readers thought he had written off those beloved characters for good. Not so. Hernandez soon picked up the story of Luba who had not only been one of the dominant characters of the "Palomar" series but had Locas: Maggie starred in its prequel "Poison River" : Now older but perhaps not so very much wiser, the hammer-wielding matriarch had relocated to the United States of America, where she continued to contend not only, as an immigrant, with a brand new and not always welcoming culture but also her tempestuous extended family - her eccentric sisters Fritz and Petra, her nurturing but often disapproving cousin Ofelia, her many children ranging from the fully grown Guadalupe and Doralis to the latest brood sired by her husband Khamo Casimira, Socorro, Joselito, and Conchita - many of them in turn each with her own network of family members, lovers, and friends including a number of other escapees from Palomar. These "America" stories - over 80 of them, ranging from quick one-page blackout sketches to bona fide graphic novellas - were originally published in a number of different comics and reprinted in a trilogy of oversized paperbacks. Luba finally collects in one compact, affordable hardcover the entirety of these tales, showcasing Gilbert Hernandez's wicked Hopey & Ray: Volume 2, great compassion, and uncanny understanding of how human beings love, squabble, and ultimately find a way to make it through this life. Tales of sex, violence and rock and roll rub elbows with stories of love, sensitivity, and understanding - and thanks to the miraculous alchemy of Hernandez's Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 storytelling, what emerges is a coherent, exciting, funny portrait of one of the richest group of fictional characters ever to Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 from a cartoonist's mind.

Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 and Jaime produced the majority of the material, and tended to focus on particular casts of characters and settings. Those of Gilbert usually focused on a cast of characters in the fictional Central American village of Palomar; the stories often featured magic realist elements. InFantagraphics Books republished this issue with a color cover. The series was published at magazine size, larger than typical American comic books.

Comic books were in the midst of change by the early s. 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. This opened the door for publishers who had small print runs, with color covers and Hopey & Ray: Volume 2 and white interiors, to emerge with an alternative to corporate mainstream comics.
