A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Love and Rockets: New Stories #1 reboots the ongoing "Love and Rockets" comic to a fat, all-new annual graphic-novel length package that will be available in bookstores. Jaime launches the new format with a superhero yarn: Penny Century has acquired superpowers, but is half-mad with grief and rampaging through the galaxy. A motley group of superheroes assemble to try to stop her. Only the first half of the saga, it combines Jaime's razor-sharp characterization and superlative art with wildly inventive, Kirby-style action. Gilbert Hernandez has these stories: "Tamanny" (rookie cop vs. demonic drug users); "Papa" (a turn-of-the-century story involving a traveling businessman); "The New Adventures of Duke and Sammy" (superpowered Martin and Lewis impostors in outer space); "The Tender Room" (Into the Wild as re-imagined by Beto); "Chiro el Indio" (written by third brother Mario Hernandez); and "Never Say Never" (a kangaroo gets lucky in Las Vegas).

Présentation de l'éditeur

Jaime launches the new format with a story that's unusual, even for him - a full-on pulse-pounding super hero yearn. Maggie's longtime friend has finally realised her long-time dream of acquiring super-powers, but at a terrible personal cost. Gilbert Hernandex explodes with a similarly generous helping of his fantasticall creative one-shot short stories. Over 100 pages of Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez at the peak of their powers.
