About this Collection

This volume collects the early 'Dicks and Deedees' storyline from the acclaimed Love and Rockets series, focusing on the misadventures of the characters in the fictional town of Palomar. Written and illustrated by Gilbert Hernandez, it showcases his signature blend of slice-of-life drama, magical realism, and intricate character dynamics. Part of Fantagraphics' comprehensive 'The Complete Love & Rockets' library, this edition presents the material in a restored and recolored format.

In "Election Day," Jaime Hernandez delivers a quiet yet piercing moment in the lives of his characters, focusing on Hopey as she serves as a volunteer clerk at a polling station. The story unfolds through a tense conversation with Maggie, who’s confronted about her absence at Costigan’s funeral—leaving Hopey to grapple with grief and betrayal in silence. With intimate detail and emotional weight, Jaime Hernandez (writer, artist, inker, letterer) captures the lingering aftermath of loss, while glimpses of Costigan’s past emerge from the quiet hum of the election day setting. The cover, also by Jaime Hernandez, frames the moment with his signature observational grace.
