Amor y Cohetes

Last post for the night - getting (sick and) tired.

Not to be confused with the post-Bauhaus trio, Los Bros Hernandez's magnificent achievement, "Love and Rockets" should be enjoyed by all. Immediately. If I were to pick one comics-style literature to endorse for random test-subject A, this is it.



This Salon article is mostly about its depiction of women (a common topic). This related interview covers some of the same territory.

Most people seem to enjoy Jaime's "Locas" stories more - cute, American, punk rock - with his clean Carl Barks-esque style. But I think Beto's "Palomar" epic(s) wins by a hair - dark, exotic, gothic (in the non-Bauhaus way). Seriously, if you can digest words, pictures and ideas together - check it out.



Who knew Salon covered L&R so heavily?
