	The Greatest Comics - Love and Rockets #1 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Instead, their stories were mature examinations of both fantasy and the everyday lives of the main characters, dealing with a wide range of topics that are rarely handled eloquently in prose fiction, let alone the comic-book medium.
		Finally, Love and Rockets did its part to let the world know that "adult" comics did not automatically equal "T&A" -- to be sure, there was plenty of both, but it was never gratuitously placed or against the spirit of the writing, which always took precedence.
		Their commercial and artistic success would encourage other comic creators and critics to see the medium in new ways, especially ways in which adults could be entertained in a mature fashion.

	World Famous Comics: Locas: A Love & Rockets Book
		Hernandez's achievement in "Love and Rockets," now finally collected into one giant book as it always felt like it was meant to be, will stand the test of time and passing fashions with the other great works of Western art and become one of the primary sources for information on life in the twentieth century.
		The original Love and Rockets comics, which during their initial run, were published for 15 years between 1981 and 1996, featured two incredible ongoing dramas by brothers Jamie and Gilbert Hernandez (with an occasional tale from a third brother, Mario).
		In the 80's and early 90's this was THE underground comic.

	"Love and Rockets: the Comic Art of Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez" - Pasadena City College
		Raised in the multiethnic farming and beach community of Oxnard, California, each of the Hernandez brothers creates innovatively designed comic stories noted for their epic scope and depth of characterization, and for their embrace of subcultures that had rarely if ever been previously depicted in comics.
		âLove and Rockets broke new ground for comics in both content and formâ¦ revitalizing long-form comics with new themes, new types of characters, and fresh approaches to narrative technique,â writes comics scholar Charles Hatfield, in his book Alternative Comics: An Emerging Literature (University of Mississippi Press, 2005).
		In 2001, the brothers revived Love and Rockets in a smaller format; fourteen issues of the second volume have been published to date by Fantagraphics Books, Seattle, Washington.

	Love And Rockets #1-2 Volume 2 - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		And, while the Brothers admit that there's a certain cache in the Love & Rockets title alone, the true draw of the comic is how well Gilbert and Jaime's stories and characters -- different as they are -- compliment each other.
		In a nod to the title's history, the cover of Love & Rockets #1, Volume 2 features six different versions of Maggie (prim and conformist in white gloves and matching purse, pensive in a wifebeater T-shirt and jeans; young, petite, and feisty as a mechanic, etc.) over her evolution from earliest incarnation to the present.
		Indeed, a teaser for Love And Rockets #3 (scheduled for August) warns of more bullying and perhaps worse, the "slow destruction of [Julio's] passion and creativity" by the school system.

	Love and Rockets (via CobWeb/3.1 planet03.csc.ncsu.edu) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Although it is common for comics fans to refer to their favorite writers or artists by first names, I generally avoid it.
		I interviewed Los Bros Hernandez in 1993 and reviewed the graphic novel by Gilbert named "Love and Rockets X" (featuring a band by the same name who may or may not have stolen their name from the English band that actually stole their name from the comics magazine - got all that?) for the Post-Dispatch.
		Although the Love and Rockets series doesn't present one single consistent storyline like, say, Sandman or Cerebus, where any missed volume will make a gap in understanding, even the lesser volumes like this are worth buying and reading, and will help understand the characters and enlarge one's picture of their lives.

	News- Fear of Comics
		They adored the brothers for what they weren't (comic book writers, ink-and-sweat-stained geeks penning supermen-in-tights tripe for the grown-up toddler) as often as they celebrated them for what they were (comic book writers, ink-and-sweat-stained artists penning thoughtful, evocative Latino-centric literature for the grown-up grown-up).
		But more important, Love and Rockets nearly single-handedly proved it was possible for novelists to exist between the slick covers and hand-drawn lines of the comic book.
		The brothers stopped doing Love and Rockets in 1996 simply because they found themselves too tangled in their own dense story telling; they felt the need to simplify, to clean up the clutter.

	Four Comics You Should Read \|\|\| KENCHEN.ORG
		Love and Rockets is one of the few comics that can ace that most popular yet grueling of tests--your girlfriend will like it.
		Utterly unpretentious, it's a comic not afraid to be a real, fun comic book in an era where Art Spiegelman's RAW and the X-Men propaganda wing seem to have turned comics into a dichotomy between the anal and the banal.
		Readers usually note Love and Rocket's 'novelistic complexity,' but this ensemble plot and deceptively slick style (with the best jump cuts in comics) really offers a complexity that would be impossible in a novel.

		Maggie is a magnificent comics character, a tempestuous naïf who wears her heart on her sleeve when she's not throwing it at a succession of bad boys who ignore her, even though Hopey is secretly the love of Maggie's life.
		Hopey, a mohawked imp, is more opaque, a symbol of the youthful rebellion of punk rock that all the characters are trying to return to in some way, even as real life sweeps them further away from their dreams.
		Finally collected into one volume, these stories are among the greatest comics ever put to paper, and an essential piece of the literature of the punk movement.

		When she went to college in 1987, her interest in comics was renewed by Love and Rockets #21, which she describes as “a new beginning.” Her first sequential comic art was an outer space version of Medea, which she did as a way to cop out on writing a paper for her Classics 101 class.
		She considers herself a feminist, and as a result, her comics are feminist, even though promoting feminism isn’t her main agenda.
		She now lives in Brooklyn and has produced a slew of full length comics, mini-comics, acquired several grants and participated in numerous exhibitions (all of which are listed on given website).

		The issue's longest entry is a thirteen-pager by Jaime starring Maggie, the full-figured mechanic from East L.A. who's stuck in a dead-end life and has seemingly even lost the ability to dream her way out of it.
		Love and Rockets is more about character, mood & moments than it is about long-winded exposition.
		It's about comics in a world where scrabbling for joy is a daily chore.

		Comics journals cover comics as a scene, but when graphic novelists get attention from the mainstream press, they tend to be lumped in with the book reviews, as literature.

	LOVE AND ROCKETS, VOL II #15
		He’s one of America’s best comic book artists (I’d put him on top), but his overall storytelling, his ability to mix the comic with the hapless makes for some of the best straight drama in comics.
		That is evident in the story’s opening scene, in which Hopey tries valiantly to be an adult at her new job (as a teaching assistant in a grade school), while still holding on to the places and activities that defined her wild youth (and the Hopey we know best).
		II #15 is the best issue of the series in about a year, and regular readers will find that it makes them perk up and not take this still great book for granted.
