About this Collection

This volume collects Jaime Hernandez's Penny Century stories from the acclaimed Love and Rockets series, focusing on the adventures and misadventures of Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and their circle in the fictional Southern California town of Hoppers. It features the character's evolution from punk-era youth to adulthood, showcasing Hernandez's signature blend of slice-of-life drama, humor, and intricate relationships.

Jaime Hernandez’s "Who-ho-hoa-nellie!" captures a quiet, drifting moment in the lives of his beloved characters, as Ray’s restless night unfolds in the neon glow of a late-night diner. After a somber visit to a strip club and a chance encounter with Negra and her friend, Ray’s journey leads him to Denny’s All Night, where fleeting glimpses of Hopey and Goforth stir memories he can’t quite grasp. With Hernandez’s signature blend of tender observation and subtle emotional depth, this story feels like a lost page from a larger, ongoing life—drawn, inked, and lettered with the same intimate care that defines his work.

A visit to a strip-club leaves Ray in a melancholic mood. He goes for a drive and encounters Negra and her friend, who have broken down. He gives them a lift, which does nothing to improve his mood. He winds up in Denny's All Night, where he sees Hopey and Goforth, and spends the rest of the night thinking about the past.
