{"product_id":"amor-y-cohetes-a-love-and-rockets-book-9781560979265","title":"Amor Y Cohetes: A Love and Rockets Book","description":"To a very great extent, \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e is synonymous with the Locas and Palomar storylines and characters ... but there was always more to \u003cem\u003eL\u0026amp;R\u003c\/em\u003e than that. This volume of \u003cem\u003eThe Complete Love and Rockets Library\u003c\/em\u003e, written and drawn by all three Hernandez brothers, collects all the stories that didn't fit into the Locas and Palomar storylines from that classic first, 50-issue run. It's a dizzying array of styles, genres, and approaches that re-confirms these groundbreaking cartoonists' place in the history of comics. It begins with Gilbert's original 40-page sci-fi epic \"BEM\" from 1981's self-published first issue of \u003cem\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/em\u003e, featuring a very different Luba and a much looser, \u003cem\u003eHeavy Metal\u003c\/em\u003e and Marvel Comics-inspired way of storytelling. Other stories include Jaime's charming \"Rocky and Fumble\" series starring a planet-hopping girl and her robot; stunning one-shots such as Gilbert's Frida Kahlo biography and his shocking autobiographical fantasia \"My Love Book\"; Mario's genre thrillers which take place \"Somewhere in California\"; Gilbert's brutally dystopian \"Errata Stigmata\"; the playful \"Hernandez Satyricon,\" with Gilbert drawing Jaime's characters, and \"War Paint,\" with Jaime trying out Palomar; Gilbert's light-hearted \"Music for Monsters\" starring Bang and Inez; and even a fantastical \"non-continuity\" Maggie and Hopey story \"Easter Hunt\" by Jaime that didn't fit into the other books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantagraphics Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781560979265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 283\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 7.51w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/14\/2008 pg. 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/19\/2008 pg. 25\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Gilbert Hernandez, Jaime Hernandez, Mario Hernandez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42917264359605,"sku":"9781560979265","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_6b049560-968e-4434-ba66-05351a3db41c.jpg?v=1687280996","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/amor-y-cohetes-a-love-and-rockets-book-9781560979265","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
