Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories (Love and Rockets) Collects the "Locas" stories from Love and Rockets Vol. I #1–50 (1981-96), plus three previously uncollected stories! By Jaime Hernandez. 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 the 1970s to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. Fantagraphics, 2026. Item Code: LOCAH |
I remember the week we received the first issue of Fantagraphics' Love and Rockets at the Citrus Heights Comics & Comix store back in 1981. I was a Northen California kid, but the characters in Jaime Hernandez's "Locas" LA stories resonated with me. I saw many of my friends from that era mirrored in the characters within these stories. And Jaime's "Mechanics" tales had a Kirbyesque flavor to them that I really dug. There's a bit of Archie to be found within these tales, all of the characters are young and display the fashions and attitudes of their world, and the Archie comics were always very good at following the trends of the day. These are just really enjoyable stories, with characters that you can root for and wish they were part of your real world. Honestly, who wouldn't want friends like Maggie and Hopey? ~Marty |

The Demon Hell's Hitman Delightfully devilish stories from the Hitman team of Garth Ennis and John McCrea! Collects The Demon #40 and 42-49 and more. For nearly two thousand years, Jason Blood has served as a living host for the demon Etrigan. In return for his longevity, he must bear the burden of unleashing Etrigan against any Earthly incursions from his fellow Hell-spawn and their mortal collaborators—as well as watching the innocent and guilty alike suffer his all-consuming wrath! DC Comics, 2026. Item Code: DEMHE |
Garth Ennis is one of my favorite writers. I've followed his career over the years from the UK to Marvel to DC and back again. But it was his work on DC's The Demon with artist John McCrea (taking over from writer Alan Grant with issue #40) that really stuck with me. Ennis and McCrea took the already crazy and raucous series and turned it to "11", with one ridiculous (yet entertaining!) situation after another. Add to this the first appearance of Tommy Monaghan, a.k.a. "Hitman", and you have the makings of a supernatural comedy classic. I don't know how Jack Kirby would have thought of their version of Etrigan, but I'm thinking he'd have been okay with it. ~Marty |

DC Finest Batman the Demon Lives Again Every story in the classic Ra’s al Ghul saga! Collects Batman #231-245 and Detective Comics #410-429. By Dennis O'Neil, Frank Robbins, Neal Adams et al. As the 1960s gave way to the 1970s, a darker, more serious tone began to take hold in Gotham City—an atmosphere generated by the dynamic, expressive artwork of Neal Adams, Dick Giordano, and Irv Novick that accompanied the intricate, thoughtful writing of authors Dennis O’Neil and Frank Robbins. And these titanic talents burned brightest around Batman’s newest and deadliest foe—the immortal Ra’s al Ghul! DC Comics, 2026. Item Code: DCFBDL |
