{"title":"Jaime Hernandez","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eJaime Hernandez\u003c\/strong\u003e was one of six siblings born and raised in Oxnard, California. His mother passed down a love of comics, which for Jaime became a passion rivaled only by his interest in the burgeoning punk rock scene of 1970s Southern California. Together with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime co-created the ongoing comic book series \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e in 1981, which Gilbert and Jaime continue to both write and draw to this day. Jaime’s work began as a perfect (if unlikely) synthesis of the anarchistic, do-it-yourself aesthetic of the punk scene and an elegant cartooning style that recalled masters such as Charles M. Schulz and Alex Toth. \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning five decades and countless high-water marks in the medium’s history.

In 2017, he (along with Gilbert) was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, and, in 2018, he released his first children’s book, the Aesop Book Prize-winning \u003cem\u003eThe Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America\u003c\/em\u003e.

Love and Rockets has appeared in a variety of formats over the years and continues to this day, but the original 50-issue run represents a milestone in comics history. Fantagraphics is celebrating and honoring the 40th anniversary of Love and Rockets and the debut of the Hernandez's' first published comics with a gigantic eight-volume slipcase reprinting each issue in a facsimile edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir organic body of work is available in a series of scrupulously and logically organized graphic novels, but here Fantagraphics honors the original quarterly format by presenting the comics as they appeared between 1981 and 1996, recreating not only the reading experience of tens of thousands of fans, but of a particularly fecund period in comics history when a new generation of cartoonists was exploding the idea of what comics could be. Painstakingly recreated in issue-by-issue facsimile, this boxed set includes every cover, comics page, and letter column (even advertising!) in seven hardcover volumes. An eighth volume densely collates selected essays, reviews, and profiles that appeared in the popular (and unpopular) press between 1981 and 1996, along with over 100 pages of additional, rarely-seen comics from the period by all three Brothers, plus dozens of book and magazine covers – a virtual history of the growth of Love and Rockets and the simultaneous rise of the literary comics movement of which they were exemplars and trailblazers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThere is apparently a systemic but randomized manufacturer's defect related to the slipcase itself (but not the hardcover volumes within the set).

Written by Mario Hernandez and drawn by Gilbert Hernandez, it traces the Rabelaisian journey of Tagg Lillard. A U.S. citizen with a seemingly perfect life working in Latin America, he escapes a death trap clutching important papers, and an imperious CEO and his manservant pursue him through a land plagued by colonialist\/corporate greed. Also collected: one of their joints from 2008, \"Chiro el Indio.\" In The Children of Palomar suite of short stories (2006–2007; collected in 2013), there are many mysterious visitors, an apparition that haunts childless women, and readers learn how Chelo lost her eye. And in Julio's Day, which originally ran from 2001–2008 and was collected in 2013, a man's life—threaded with war, loss, illness, and forbidden love—spans a century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gilbert Hernandez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ Softback","offer_id":44128313180406,"sku":"9781683966999","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0322\/7339\/9944\/products\/L_Rv15-ChildrenofPalomar-3DCover.jpg?v=1660251647"},{"product_id":"love-and-rockets-comics-vol-iv-12","title":"Love and Rockets Comics Vol. IV #12","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 40th anniversary of LOVE AND ROCKETS continues with an all-new issue of the World's Greatest Comics Magazine (sorry, FF).
