Commentary To Books Perla la Loca (Love and Rockets)
Perla begins with the "Wigwam Bam" story, arguably Jaime Hernandez's definitive statement on the post-punk culture. As Maggie, Hopey, and the rest of the Locas prowl Los Angeles, the East Coast, and parts in between trying to recapture the carefree spirit of those early days. "Wigwam Bam" brings us up to date on all the members of Jaime's extensive cast of characters and then drops a narrative bomb on Hopey (and us) in the very last pages. Split up from Hopey yet again, Maggie bounces back and forth between a one-laundromat town in Texas (the "Chester Square" that serves as the title of two of the strongest stories in the book), where she has to contend with both her own inner demons and a murderous hooker, and Camp Vicki, where she has to fend off her aunt Vicki's attempts to make her a professional wrestler and the unwanted advances of the amorous wrestling champ-to-be, Gina. As usual, Jaime spotlights a wide range of headstrong female characters. And what's this about Maggie getting married?Be Specific About Out Of Books Perla la Loca (Love and Rockets)

Omnibus volume three (of five, so far, 283 pages!) of Jaime Hernandezs Locas stories features the graphic novel Wigwam Bam (which is also shelved separately as Love and Rockets volume 14 of the collected Los Bros Hernandez collected works). I like volume 2, the Hoppers volume, a bit better, because Maggie is separated from Hopey and the rest of her friends for much of this volume, but Wigwam Bam is a great portrait of post-punk (largely L. A.) culture, classic Jaime. The locas girls try to keepStill the best ever, Maggie and Hopey Locas
At this point, the stories start getting darker and grittier, and I didn't like that quite as much. The art is still fantastic. Lots of time jumps in this batch of stories, and sometimes that got a bit confusing.
I am becoming completely and utterly obsessed with these books. I read this one in just over 24 hours. Ive not read a comic book (and very few "actual novels") that have as brilliant characterisation as this one. Things are not going well for Maggie, Hopey and co. in this book. It starts with Maggie and Hopey having a huge fight and they spend the entire book apart experiencing some pretty unpleasant things. The title of one of the stories, "Maggie the mechanic or Perla the prostitute" killed
In this graphic novel "Perla La Loca" by Jaime Hernandez i learned that when you run away from things its just come back. Also in this graphic novel it thought me that when someone is struggling to complete their goal to help them out. I recommend this book to first who ever like graphic novels and like to be entertained. Also, i recommend that people under the age of 14 should not read this book. Finally, I like this book because i learned a lot of life skills and its a fascinating book.
Truly nothing quite like Love & Rockets. Absolutely immense.
This is fantastic! How do Maggie and Hopey get along without eachother? Read and see! Jamie's art just got better and better. Hopey is awesome and even though I think she'd drive me nuts in real life, I have a crush on fictional her.
