Got a tip from a fan on the Love and Rockets Facebook page that there's a L&R fan art group on the deviantART site . Here's a couple of Maggies posted by big-shot comics pros — first up, a commission by Adam Hughes :
And here's Roger Langridge collaborator Chris Samnee :
There's some fun stuff from the amateurs too (including a couple of mashups of las Locas with Raymond Pettibon's Sonic Youth Goo album cover). The only problem so far: no Palomar characters?!
Thanks to Love and Rockets fan "Endometria Jones" for sharing this snap of "my old chevy wagon, circa early 90s" on the L&R Facebook page !
Cartoonist & Fanta pal Bruce McCorkindale alerted us to his adorable Peanuts /Hellboy mashup sketch — see his original post for a larger image and who's who in the lineup.
