Love & Rockets
In 1982, the Hernandez brothers created Love & Rockets , a mix of magical realism, science fiction, and meditations on the human condition which became one of the most critically acclaimed series of all time. Now, follow the adventures of the spunky Maggie Chascarillo, her best friend and sometime lover Hopey and their circle of friends, as Jaime Hernandez presents the punkiest, most sci-fi Love & Rockets stories — a must for any fan of truly adult comics!

When Jaime Hernandez had to come up with subject matter for the Love & Rockets comic, he looked to the bustling early-80s punk scene that surrounded him, mixed in his own Mexican-American sensibilities and a dash of comic-book science fiction, and punkettes Maggie and Hopey - sometime lovers, full-time troublemakers, also know as "Las Locas" - were born.

Maggie the Mechanic presents the first five years' worth of Locas stories, in perfect chronological order and in an accessible paperback format. It includes "Mechan-X", the very first Maggie and Hopey story; the full length graphic novel "Las Mujeres Perdidas" (co-starring wrestling legend Rena Titanon); and two dozen other classic stories.
