Love and Rockets: Book 9 - 1st printing. By Los Bros Hernandez. "Flies on the Ceiling" Love and Rockets Collection by Los Bros Hernandez. The original, seminal Love & Rockets comic book series, which ran for 50 issues from 1981 to 1996, singlehandedly defined the post-underground generation of comics that spawned Daniel Clowes, Chris Ware, and so many others. Now collected into 15 volumes, Love & Rockets is a body of work that The Nation has described as "one of the hidden treasures of our impoverished culture." Created by brothers Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario Hernandez, three Southern California Mexican-Americans armed with a passion for pop culture and punk rock, Love & Rockets gave a voice to minorities and women for the first time in the medium's then 50-year history and remains one of the greatest achievements in comic book history. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 136 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $12.95.
