Description

Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez are now recognized as two of the greatest cartoonists in the history of the medium. In 1982 when the first issue of Love and Rockets came out, they (occasionally working with their brother, Mario) were two young, struggling cartoonists who were bucking the dominant comic book trend and adolescent content with intimate, novelistic stories told in comics form. 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 slipcase reprinting each issue in a facsimile edition. Here Fantagraphics honors the original quarterly format by presenting the comics as they appeared between 1982 and 1996 including every cover, comics page, and letter column in seven volumes. An eighth volume is anchored by Love and Rockets scholar Marc Sobel's overview of each issue, plus essays, reviews, and profiles that appeared in the popular (and unpopular) press, 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.

    • Super Awesome!
Arrived quickly, perfect condition. (Triple boxed). Great quality!

    • Exemplary example of graphic novel artistry
I like the packaging and design thereof. I plan to peruse and study this work for years to come!

    • Masterpiece in graphic story telling
The comic that redefined what could be achieved in the medium. Lots of “firsts” here: First lesbian kiss in comics, first story lines featuring women who don't revolve around men’s more “important” businesses, first… I think you can get the point by now! Some call this the great american comic, and it's no exaggeration! ... show more

    • wonderful set - horrible slipcase
Books are beautiful but arrived with a blown out slipcase. Looks like it was hardly engineered to hold such a heavy set. Just a heads up.

    • Great set, slipcase arrived damaged
This is a great box set of an iconic series, presented in a deluxe format. The slipcase is thin cardboard and quite fragile considering the hefty weight in books it holds. Despite the set being packaged in a cardboard box wrapped in bubble wrap inside the shipping box the slipcase arrived with stress tears across 2 sides, likely during routine handling while shipping. Serious collectors may want to pay the extra few bucks and support their local comic shop if they want a completely intact product as I’ve had several heavy omnibus volumes purchased through Amazon suffer a similar fate. I’ll likely keep this as I just purchased it for reading anyway. Still disappointed by the damage as this set is not cheap. ... show more
