Love and Rockets – The Covers Hardcover

Love and Rockets – The Covers Hardcover

Five women stand in a police lineup; four of them are garishly dressed super-women – perfectly normal, because this is, after all, the cover of a comic book. A closer look, however, reveals a fifth woman who seems thoroughly out of place – mousy, in a bath-robe and curlers, smoking a cigarette. Surely she’s here by mistake – or is she?

From the very first cover of the very first issue of Love and Rockets in 1982, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez have created artwork that has subverted, contradicted and celebrated the history of the comic-book medium, inverting familiar tropes and creating some of the most iconic images in comics over the past three and a half decades, inviting fans and readers into their world.

For the first time, these iconic comic book covers from the original Love and Rockets comic book series (and the earliest trade paperbacks) have been restored and collected.
