At least I couldn't swallow this in a single night,
By Sye Sye (Perth, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Luba (Love and Rockets) (Hardcover)
Luba is another wonderful chunk of the Love and Rockets world. The focus here is on Luba's extended family who live in the States: half sister Petra, and her flock of kids, including the wonderfully tough, worldly little Venus, with her love of romance comics; and Luba's other half sister, 'Fritz' Rosalba, whose other adventures are collected in 'High Soft Lisp'. Beto obviously had lots of fun making this series as there are stacks of comicbook style conventions as well as plenty of lovingly drawn female characters. I think Beto did a wonderful job of moving away from the Palomar focus creating individual world with great new characters. Loads of short tales that often show different perspectives of the same events.
I discovered Love and Rockets through this edition of 'Luba' earlier this year. Before I read far, I researched the series and bought the lot. Check out Fantagraphics for a great Love and Rockets reading guide I love both Gilbert's and Jaime's work for their individuality and depth: I now own the WHOLE rerelease series!! I compare the depth of their respective worlds-Palomar and Hoppers-to that of Anthony Powell's 'Dance to the Music of Time.' Fantagraphics have done a wonderful job rereleasing the whole Love and Rockets series, for those of us who missed. If you like comics, check these guys out: they are quality through and through. Thanks Los Bros for all your decades of work!! |
