Publisher's Synopsis

A stand-alone graphic novel from the Locas universe. It starts with a barely-glimpsed slaying (Life Through Whispers) and ends with a funeral (Male Torso Found in LA River). New characters include long-suffering on-the-side squeeze Grace; Maggie's new roommate, the sweet-natured jockette Angel of Tarzana; and the live-wire would-be gangsta Elmer - while such classic Love and Rockets characters as the hard-living Doyle, the ageing but still-rocking Terry and the mysterious super-heroine Alarma pop up in the margins.

About the Publisher

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books

Fantagraphics Books has been a leading proponent of comics as a legitimate form of art and literature since it began publishing the critical trade magazine The Comics Journal in 1976. By the early 1980s, Fantagraphics found itself at the forefront of the burgeoning movement to establish comics as a medium as eloquent and expressive as the more established popular arts of film, literature, poetry, et al. Fantagraphics quickly established a reputation as an advocacy publisher that specialized in seeking out and publishing the kind of innovative work that traditional comics corporations who dealt almost exclusively in super-heroes and fantasy either didn?t know existed or wouldn?t touch: serious, dramatic, historical, journalistic, political, and satirical work by a new generation of alternative cartoonists as well as many artists who gained prominence as part of the seminal underground comix movement of the '60s. Fantagraphics has since gained an international reputation for its literate and audacious editorial standards and its exacting production values.
