Trailer for Detention #2, published last year by #Fantagraphics. This is #comics artist #TimHensley's idiosyncratic retelling of Maggie: A Girl from the Streets, a realist novella originally written by 19th century author #StephenCrane. More than worth the trouble it'll take to get your mitts on a copy.

I've been reading #LoveAndRockets since I was 14. I'm 53 now, and as the characters age right along with me, I'm still reading, still loving, still following all these characters and their stories. I'll never stop!

"Jaime introduced Maggie Chascarillo and Hopey Glass, the stars of what would become a decades-spanning roman-fleuve now known as the Locas cycle. Latina punks and sometimes lovers, moving through stories that shifted effortlessly from realism to science fiction, and interacting with a multiracial cast that eventually totaled hundreds of distinct characters, Maggie and Hopey were the driving force behind one of the most ambitious narratives ever produced by an American storyteller. Gilbert’s first Love and Rockets story was a witty superhero satire, “BEM,” a romp through the storytelling cliches of Marvel Comics. But by the third issue (fall 1983), Gilbert launched into his own massive graphic novel, now known as the Palomar cycle. Initially centered around the fictional Latin American town of Palomar and starring the hammer-wielding matriarch Luba, the Palomar cycle was as ambitious as the Locas cycle: spanning many hundreds of pages and countless characters, with plot tendrils that extend for more than a century and range from Palomar to Southern California, it is a saga of enormous complexity and emotional depth. Both the Locas cycle and the Palomar cycle are life works that continue to expand page by page and story by story to this day."

Taking online with a chum today about Jacques Tardi, one of my favourite creators from the Franco-Belgian comics scene, and his adaptation of Leo Malet's noir, “Brouillard au pont de Tolbiac” (Fog Over Pontiac Bridge), so I thought I'd repost a link to my reviews of the translated edition from Fantagraphics I wrote a few years back
