Synopsis "Love and Rockets: The Covers (in English)"

Five women stand in a police lineup; four of them are garishly dressed, impressively endowed superwomen -- perfectly normal, because this is, after all, the cover of a comic book. A closer look, however, reveals a fifth woman who seems thoroughly out of place -- mousy, in bathrobe and curlers, smoking a cigarette, she appears to have been suddenly yanked from her breakfast table. Surely, this diminutive, dowdy woman is here by mistake -- or is she? From the very first cover of the very first issue of Love and Rockets in 1982, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez have created artwork that has subverted, contradicted and celebrated the history of the comic book medium, inverting familiar tropes and creating some of the most iconic images in comics over the past three and a half decades, inviting fans and readers into their world. Amazingly, many of the covers created by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez for the various iterations of Love and Rockets over the past 35 years have never been collected or have only been reprinted in black-and-white. Love and Rockets: The Covers will not only rectify this problem, but present them without trade dress (logos, marketing hype, etc.), allowing the original cover illustrations to communicate on their own. This will be a gorgeous, oversized art book and the perfect gift for fans of the series that virtually defines alternative comics.

Este libro de portadas de L&R tiene un buen tamaño para poder disfrutar de las reproducciones. El que sea en tapa dura enriquece el producto; asimismo, la cubierta y la sobrecubierta hacen un bonito juego. La mayoría de las portadas e ilustraciones son a color. Por poner un "pero", me hubiese gustado que tuviese más páginas en B/N con el resultado a color pareado (como hacen en algunas ocasiones), pero quizás esto obedezca a que me encanta el tratamiento del B/N que hacen los hermanos Hdez (en especial, Jaime). Al final del libro, los autores hacen acotaciones a algunas de sus portadas, reproducidas a pequeña escala. Por último, comentaremos que no hay páginas secuenciadas (es un libro exclusivamente de portadas). En resumen, una muy buena adquisición. Gracias.

Este libro es formato gran tamaño (32 cm. x 25 cm.!), con una preciosa película transparente de protección y 200 páginas con todas las portadas de L&R de los últimos 35 años... Por menos de US$12?! Un hallazgo
