/LOVE AND ROCKETS: NEW STORIES TP VOL 06
(W/A) Los Brothers Hernandez LUBA'S GENERATIONAL SAGA DEEPENS, PLUS A NEW STORY FEATURING JAIME'S "TONTA"
Love and Rockets enters its fourth decade with the latest installment
of this acclaimed graphic novel-format iteration, featuring both old
friends and new faces, and some genuine surprises...
The cover shows
Gilbert's new star Killer in a pose and milieu that will bring back
memories for long-time fans - imitating the hammer-wielding Luba in her
adopted Palomar. That's because Killer has discovered that her
great-grandmother Maria (Luba's mother) starred in a late 1950s crime
movie, and begins to delve into the details of her family's twisted
history. Complicating things is the fact that Luba's half-sister Fritz
played Maria in an amped-up biopic version of her life, creating a
postmodern alternate version of the classic "Poison River" which
originally told Maria's story (in a tie-in release, see page 52 for the
graphic novel version of this movie, Maria M. Part One)! In the other
half of the book, Jaime continues to explore his intriguing new
character Tonta: In "Fuck Summer," Tonta is talked into joining the
summer swim team but can't figure out why the brand new swim coach knows
her - so, with help from friends, she sets out to find the answer.
Meanwhile, something far more sinister is brewing behind the scenes...
