About this Collection

This hefty volume collects the complete story of Maggie Chascarillo and Hopey Glass, the central characters of Jaime Hernandez's acclaimed Love & Rockets series. Spanning from the early 1980s through the early 2000s, it follows their tumultuous friendship, romantic entanglements, and lives in the fictional Southern California town of Hoppers. A cornerstone of alternative comics, this collection showcases Hernandez's evolving art and nuanced storytelling over two decades.

In "Mechanics," Jaime Hernandez delivers a quiet yet resonant chapter in the lives of Maggie and Hopey as they navigate the search for a new place to live, drifting through thrift stores and the uncertain streets of their city. The story lingers in the spaces between moments—Maggie’s return to Izzy’s, the weight of a misreported rumor about her death in Chepan, and Terry’s hesitation about offering her shelter—painting a portrait of resilience and connection amid quiet upheaval. Rendered in Hernandez’s signature style, the issue is a masterclass in emotional precision, with every line and panel carrying the gravity of lived experience.

In "Hester Square," Maggie tracks down Danita’s lucha libre costume, only to find herself tangled in a web of old tensions at Little Luigi’s bar.

In "Bob Richardson," Maggie tries to reset her relationships by bluntly telling Gina and Enero she’s not interested—no easy task, especially when Vicki presses her for the truth. A lie about an upcoming marriage spirals as Maggie stumbles into a tense scene at Luigi’s bar, where Rena’s in trouble, and a familiar knock at Esther’s door hints at a long-ignored past.
