As Hernandez puts it, "It's my Love and Rockets world that's not my
Love and Rockets world." This best-of book spotlights the women who
are often ignored in pro wrestling in 125 full color illustrations:
pin-ups, action shots, fake wrestling magazine covers, all presented in
a deluxe hardcover that echoes the lucha libre magazines of the 1960s.
Hernandez also discusses the work in an interview with fellow cartoonist
Katie Skelly.
Despite having created one of the most expansive and remarkable casts of
characters of any cartoonist who ever lived (under the umbrella of the
ongoing L&R comic book series), acclaimed graphic novelist Jaime
Hernandez -- Will Eisner Hall of Famer; Eisner, Harvey, Ignatz, and PEN
Award winner; L.A. Times Book Prize winner; and on a very short list
of contenders for the title of America's Greatest Living Cartoonist --
has been privately amassing a body of work that no one else has ever
seen for over 40 years. Until now.
