Description: Love And Rockets: Penny Century by Jaime Hernandez Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Wrestling, romance and more in the 4th collection of Maggie stories from the world of Love and Rockets. Publisher Description Picking up right after Perla La Loca, the third volume of the definitive "Maggie" series repackaging, this compilation of stories from Jaime Hernandez solo comic Penny Century and his subsequent return to Love and Rockets (Volume II) charts the further lives of his beloved "Locas." But first...wrestling! Penny Century starts off with a blast with "Whoa, Nellie!," a unique graphic novelette in which Maggie, who has settled in with her pro-wrestler aunt for a while, experiences that wild and woolly world first-hand. Then its back to chills and spills with the old cast of Hopey, Ray Dominguez, and Izzy Ortiz, including Maggies romantic dream fantasia "The Race" and the definitive Ray story, "Everybody Loves Me, Baby."Penny Century also features two major "flashback" stories: "Bay of Threes" finally reveals the full back story behind Beatriz "Penny Century" Garcia, Maggies long-time, bleached-blonde bombshell friend (who gives this volume its name and can currently be seen as a super-villainess in Love and Rockets New Stories), while "Home School" is one of Hernandez popular looks at his characters lives from when they were little kids, drawn in an adorable simplified Dennis the Menace style. Author Biography Jaime Hernandez 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 Love and Rockets in 1981, which Gilbert and Jaime continue to both write and draw to this day. Jaimes 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. Love and Rockets has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning five decades and countless high-water marks in the mediums history. In 2016, Hernandez won the prestigious Los Angeles Times Book Prize for his graphic novel, The Love Bunglers. In 2017, he (along with Gilbert) was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, and, in 2018, he released his first childrens book, the Aesop Book Prize-winning The Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America. He is a lifelong Angeleno.
