Life DrawingLife Drawing

"Ten years in the making (and torn from the pages of the legendary Love and Rockets), Life Drawing skillfully weaves two generations of Jaime Hernandez's beloved characters - the youthful Tonta and the venerable Maggie - into a satisfying story of love. Tonta has a crush on her art teacher, Ray, as well as an axe to grind with an older woman in the neighborhood. When Tonta finds that the woman is Maggie - Ray's girlfriend - things get complicated. And Tonta does not handle complications well. Life Drawing showcases Hernandez's brilliant talent for character, weaving relationships, rejections, infidelities, and adventures involving: Tonta's self-involved sisters Vivian, Violet, and Muñeca; her colorful pals Gomez, Judy Fair, and Brown Alice; her mother, the infamous 'Black Widow of the Valley'; and of course, the two great loves of Maggie's life, Ray and Hopey. There's also a forest spirit, some cosplay, a little pole dancing, two weddings, and page after page of breathtaking comics by the medium's most wide-eyed romantic"--
