Extra Issues – Fantagraphics #1: Love and Rockets – Jaime Hernandez
Charlotte “Horny Redhead” Costigan, Zackie the Man-chanic, and special guest Sara Century begin a new series covering the renowned comic book publisher Fantagraphics.

Comics covered in this episode:
Love and Rockets Library Editions:
– Maggie the Mechanic
– The Girl from H.O.P.P.E.R.S.
– Perla La Loca
Topics discussed:
– How does a comic that is so specific to a time/place also feel so universal?
– Will Maggie and Hopey find true love???
– Is this comic unapproachable for new readers? But also is it the best comic ever written? Can the answer to both questions be “yes”?
Upcoming episodes in our Fantagraphics miniseries:
