In Jaime’s stories, Maggie and Hopey take a much-needed break from their humdrum domestic lives and go on a road trip to visit a “sick friend.” And, when the cat’s away, Ray visits some old, sick friends of his own. Plus Tonta’s nutty family! Gilbert offers a suite of stories, including “The Magic Voyage of Aladdin,” a sweeping epic of derring-do in which Morgan Le Fey (Fritz) teams up with Aladdin to stop the evil Circle from obtaining the magic lamp; “The Golem Suit,” a WWII sci-fi thriller starring “Killer”; and “Daughters and Mothers and Daughters,” in which flashbacks to Luba’s mother Maria reveal how ugly secrets of the past affect their family today.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGilbert Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e was born in 1957 in Oxnard, California, and is considered one of the greatest living comics writer-artists in the world. In 1982, Hernandez co-created, along with his brothers Mario and Jaime, the ongoing, iconic, internationally acclaimed comic book series \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, one of the greatest bodies of work the medium has ever seen. In addition to his work on \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e, its spinoffs, and side series, Hernandez has released a prodigious amount of original graphic novels and miniseries, such as \u003ci\u003eSloth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBumperhead\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMarble Season\u003c\/i\u003e. He also collaborated with Darwyn Cooke on \u003ci\u003eThe Twilight Children\u003c\/i\u003e for DC. He was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame in 2017 and is the recipient of a Fellow Award from United States Artists and a PEN Center USA’s Graphic Literature Award for Outstanding Body of Work. Hernandez lives in Ventura, CA, with his wife and daughter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJaime Hernandez\u003c\/b\u003e was one of six siblings born and raised in Oxnard, California. His mother passed down a love of comics, which for Jaime became a passion rivaled only by his interest in the burgeoning punk rock scene of 1970s Southern California. Together with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, Jaime co-created the ongoing comic book series \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e in 1981, which Gilbert and Jaime continue to both write and draw to this day. Jaime’s work began as a perfect (if unlikely) synthesis of the anarchistic, do-it-yourself aesthetic of the punk scene and an elegant cartooning style that recalled masters such as Charles M. Schulz and Alex Toth. \u003ci\u003eLove and Rockets\u003c\/i\u003e has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning five decades and countless high-water marks in the medium’s history. In 2016, Hernandez won the prestigious \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e Book Prize for his graphic novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Love Bunglers\u003c\/i\u003e. In 2017, he (along with Gilbert) was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, and, in 2018, he released his first children’s book, the Aesop Book Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Dragon Slayer: Folktales from Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e. He is a lifelong Angeleno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556068741281,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781606997703","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781606997703_0968bd4e-b350-49ee-b071-c7f258530a62.jpg?v=1781804641","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/love-and-rockets-new-stories-no-7-paperback-by-gilbert-hernandez","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
