Love & Rockets: Locas HC

by Jaime Hernandez

Spanning a quarter-century, Locas tells the story of Maggie Chascarrillo, a bisexual, Mexican-American woman attempting to define herself in a community rife with class, race and gender issues. Maggie's story begins in the early-1980s Southern California rock scene, when it was shifting from the excesses of glitter rock to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. She quickly befriends Hopey Glass, a feisty anti-authoritarian punkette who quickly becomes Maggie's on-again, off-again lover and a constant presence in her life throughout the book. Maggie evolves from an angry young punk into a mature woman, encountering cruelties large and small and resigning herself to dashed hopes, shattered illusions, and even death with ironic acceptance over her 20 year story arc. This book contains ALL of the Maggie stories from the first Love & Rockets series.
