Love comic books issue 2

Stories and art by George Evans, Bob Powell and Margaret Isbell. Fawcett flirted with romance comics in the early days of the genre, resulting in short-lived, photo-covered experiments in melodrama. After Barry's milk-truck is carjacked by a robber who leaves his loot behind, Barry's gal Helen encourages him to keep the money, in a story with art by EC legend George Evans. Jean goes to work for glassmaker Bart as part of a secret revenge plan, blaming Bart for her fiance's death, but she didn't expect to fall in love. Lila takes over her father's trucking company after his stroke and falls for Ray, the company's other driver - but can she trust him? This last story features a woman driving a truck and running a business - unusual for a 1950 story - as well as art by Bob Powell. The Thought of You; Love's Vengeance; Trousseau for a Wife; Barrier to My Heart. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.

Issue #2 - Feb. 1996. From 1960 to 1972, amateur ditto printed fanzines flourished. Creators like our own Buddy Saunders, Ronn Foss, Richard Grass Green, Biljo White, Bill Schelly, Steve Perrin and Richard Buckler have stories reprinted here. Characters like The Eye, Speed Marvel, Astro Ace and more have been retouched and prepared for black and white printing. Editor Bill Schelly has this to say about the early ditto printing process with its distinctive aroma and purple ink: "...the publishers of ditto fanzines fastened those magical master units to the rotating drums... the drums whirled, the paper unfurled and soon the purple-fingered purveyors of dittoed daydreams were mailing their handiwork to perhaps a hundred or so faithful readers." Relive the early grand days of comic fandom. 8 1/2-in. x 11-in, 80 pages, black and white. Cover price $7.95.

Volume 2 - 1st printing. "Maggie, Hopey, and Ray!" By Jaime Hernandez. This second, doorstop-sized omnibus volume of "Locas" tales by Jaime Hernandez - collecting over a dozen years' worth of stories from the award-winning Love & Rockets comics - picks up shortly after Maggie and Hopey's long-awaited reunion at the end of the Locas hardcover. Even though her love life remains as chaotic as ever, Hopey takes her first few steps toward responsible adulthood with a real job (as a teacher), while a depressed, divorced Maggie ends up as the manager of a fleabag apartment building, where she continues to wrestle with the demons of her past - most prominently in the stunning centerpiece of the volume, the graphic novel-length "Ghost of Hoppers," with its hallucinatory dream finale. On the "guy" side Ray, still carrying a major torch for Maggie, falls in with the "Frogmouth," the volatile bombshell (arguably the sexiest woman Jaime has ever drawn, which is saying something) whose ties to local thugs cause some hairy moments indeed. Of course, Maggie, Hopey, and Ray's paths continue to intersect in Jaime's increasingly complex, always richly imagined world, along with those of characters both old (Izzy Ortiz, Penny Century) and new (the jockette Angel, the mysterious superheroine Alarma). Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 418 pages, B&W. Mature Readers Cover price $39.95.
