Both Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez developed their skills as artists in public, in the pages of Love and Rockets, and as quickly as any artists ever have. The first issue showed two promising young tyros; by the fourth, both brothers were clearly among the foremost cartoonists of their generation. But not all of that development took place on the main stage of their shared magazine.
Centered on one of Jaime's peaks - The Death of Speedy, the second comprehensive Locas collection (with stories not in the hardcover) alternates between wrestling action and the triangle of Maggie - Hopey and Ray D.
