Mechanics #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeJaime Hernandez’s Mechanics #1 (1985) launches the story of Penny Century, a woman caught in a web of uneasy encounters and uneasy alliances, as Bomber tracks her down on behalf of the enigmatic H. R. Costigan. With Hernandez’s sharp, expressive art and bold inks, the issue unfolds in a gritty, lived-in world where identity and loyalty are as fragile as the machines that define it. The cover by Jaime Hernandez captures the tension of the moment, setting the tone for a story that’s as much about hidden connections as it is about the mechanics of survival.
In "Mechanics Parts 1 to 3," Maggie and Rand Race are dispatched to a dangerous jungle nation where ancient dinosaurs roam and a ruthless dictator holds power, all to repair a stranded spacecraft. With the environment itself a constant threat and tensions rising, their mission quickly becomes a test of skill, trust, and survival.
Jo, a woman with a knack for vanishing, finds herself caught between the past and the road again when Bomber stumbles upon her during a routine search for Penny Century. H. R. Costigan’s persistent pursuit and Big 'Turo’s stubborn loyalty pull her back into a world she’s tried to leave behind—only for her to slip away once more.
