Love & Rockets

    (Fantagraphics, 1982-1996)
™ and ©1984 Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez

The two men who created this series, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, clearly have a strong understanding of and empathy for women, as it features some of the best-developed and compelling female characters in comics. Racially diverse, the women deal with many contemporary topics such as homosexuality, infidelity, drug use and sexual harassment without ever overwhelming a storyline or the characters’ integrity.

The many interwoven storylines and multiple characters can be confusing for a first-time reader, but luckily they are coherent enough to follow through future issues. One of the major characters, Hopey, provided the name for the book in a roundabout way: she plays the guitar for a band called “Love and Rockets.” Evidently, this series also had fans abroad. When former members of the English band Bauhaus formed a new band in the mid-1980s, they named themselves after this book and in effect, Hopey’s band.
