Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories

One of the great American novels of the last 40+ years, graphic or otherwise. Created over 15 years from 1981-96 in the pages of the legendary comic book series Love and Rockets Vol. I #1–50 and collected here in a new deluxe hardcover. Jaime Hernandez is one of the most humane, graceful, and imaginatively inexhaustible artists in American popular culture. Locas tells the story of Maggie Chascarrillo, a bisexual, Mexican-American woman attempting to define herself in a community rife with class, race, and gender issues.
