This volume picks up shortly after Maggie and Hopey’s
long-awaited reunion at the end of the first Locas. Even
though her love life remains as chaotic as ever, Hopey
takes her first few steps toward responsible adulthood
with a real job (as a teacher), while a demoralized,
divorced Maggie ends up as the manager of a fleabag
apartment building where she continues to wrestle with
the demons of her past―most prominently in the
stunning
centerpiece of the volume, the graphic-novel-length
“Maggie” serial, with its stunning, hallucinatory dream
finale. Meanwhile, Ray still carries a major torch for Maggie,
but falls in with the “Frogmouth,” the volatile bombshell
whose ties to local thugs cause him no small amount of
grief. Of course, Maggie, Hopey, and Ray’s paths continue to
intersect in Hernandez’s increasingly complex, intricate,
and always vitally realized world. This omnibus volume compiles stories originally printed
in the pages of the comics Penny Century, the one-shot
special Maggie & Hopey Color Fun (presented here in black
and white), and Love and Rockets Vol. II, and was
formerly collected in the volumes Dicks and Deedees,
Locas in Love, Ghost of Hoppers and The Education of
Hopey Glass.
