Chester Square TPB (1996 A Love and Rockets Collection) comic books 2005-2007

Love and Rockets: Book 13 - 2nd and later printings. By Los Bros Hernandez. 'Chester Square' chronicles Maggie's turbulent life from the end of 'Wigwam Bam' through 'Bob Richardson,' Jaime's farewell to Love & Rockets. Split up from Hopey yet again, Maggie bounces back and forth between a one-laundromat town in Texas (the 'Chester Square' of the title), where she has to contend with both her own inner demons and a murderous hooker, and Camp Vicki, wher she has to fend off her aunt Vicki's attempts to make her a professional wrestler, and the unwanted advances of the amorous wrestling champ-to-be, Gina. As usual, Jaime spotlights a wide range of headstrong female characters, including Maggie's sister Esther and her cousin Xochitl; Penny Century, Hopey, and Danita show up as well, as does Rena Titañon, who, joined by the wrestler El Diablo, dominates the finale with a rousing free-for-all slugfest against six armed thugs. Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 160 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $18.95.
