Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories (Love & Rockets)
[rating:5/5]
This mammoth book is a collection of Hernandez’s Love & Rockets comics, which tell the story of Maggie and Hopey, two SoCal latin punk rock girls in the 80’s-90’s. It’s got mexican pro-wrestling and a bunch of Nardcore (Oxnard hardcore) symbols all over the backgrounds that my eye kept discovering. The highlight was the panel that had a flier for an AFU show.
The stories are wonderful, the artwork is wonderfully stark black and white, and when I was finished I was so involved with the characters that it was terribly disappointing to be at the end of the book.
