  • No one in their right mind can think that Jaime's (or Gilbert's for that matter) work is OUTDATED! You guys rule.

    I'm still as giddy with anticipation when I'm walking home with a new issue of L&R as I used to in early 90's when I found the series.

    Heh, don't have a Widows tattoo (the spider etc) in my arm for nothing...

    RESPECT!

  • There's no good reason on God's green earth that LOCAS II wasn't up for a National Book Award. It's one of the most profoundly unique and humane books I've read in ages.

  • Jaime is so cool. I wish I could kick it with him, lol.

  • It's still good.

  • he's so fucking good

  • that's kinda hilarious like 5 seconds after the ambulance part, the ambulance was passing by my block.

  • Thank you thank you thank you for posting this! This comic was my lifeline in high school. A true representation of my hometown and my experiences.

  • found a few old issues of l&r yesterday @ a collectable swap

    i never knew they were oversize!

    thanks pbs/kcet

  • I ran into Jaime's comics first year at college and every time I had break from class I would immediately go to the comic book section at the school bookstore and read that stuff like there was no tomorrow. It was great for me because it got me back into loving comics again and the first comic that had ethnic elements I could relate to.

  • I stumbed on L&R a few years ago when I was about 16...I had never seen anything like it. I grew up liking comics, especially the superhero stuff, having grown up watching the 90s animated series such as X-Men and Batman TAS. L&R really opened my eyes to what comics have the potential to be and inspired me to try new things with my own art.

  • Love and Rockets is a briliant comic series. touching, human, surreal, sexy and gritty. Gilbert's own stuff is great too, the stuff set in Palomar. I think Jaime's the better artist but i really really love the stories in duck feet and human diastrophism
