Celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2007, Love and
Rockets will finally be released in its most accessible
form yet: as a series of compact, thick, affordable,
mass-market volumes that present the whole story in
perfect chronological order. The 25th anniversary Love
and Rockets celebration continues with this, the first of
three volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky
Maggie, her annoying best friend and sometime lover
Hopey, and their circle of friends, including their
bombshell friend Penny Century, Maggie's weirdo mentor
Izzy as well as the wrestler Rena Titanon and Maggie's
handsome love interest, Rand Race. Maggie the Mechanic
collects the earliest, punkiest, most heavily sci-fi
stories of Maggie and her circle of friends, and you can
see the artist (who drew like an angel from the very
first panel) refine his approach: Despite these strong
shifts in tone, the stunning art and razor sharp
characterizations keep this collection consistent, and
enthralling throughout. (Note: A number of these stories
were not collected in the hardcover Locas.)
