Riassunto

Maria M.'s is a sordid tale of sex, drugs, violence, and power. When she comes to America for a better life, she marries a drug kingpin, whose son learns Maria’s darkest secret, leading to the most violent gangland bloodbath in organized crime history. Maria M. collects 2013’s Book One (now out of print), and the never-before-published Book Two, presenting the complete graphic novel for the first time. Longtime readers of Hernandez’s books will recognize a metatwist worthy of Maria M.’s pulpy pages: Maria M. doubles as a “biopic” of the mother of Hernandez’s most beloved character: Luba from Love and Rockets!

Su questo libro

Recensione

"Hernandez is one of the great craftsmen of modern comics." --The New York Book Review

"Hernandez has become the medium's David Lynch or Guy Maddin, rolling his personal obsessions and freewheeling abstractions into stories that present as pulp, then take some very weird turns." --The A.V. Club

Gilbert Hernandez is one third of the award-winning trio of writers (also including his brothers Jaime and Mario) behind the Love and Rockets series, which has been running almost continually since 1982. The series has received enormous critical acclaim; in 2013 Hernandez received, along with his brothers, the PEN Center USA's Graphic Literature Award for Outstanding Body of Work.
