On first exam this is a really beautiful book - full colour & much larger format than I was expecting. A real must for any comix (or Jaime) fan. My copy just arrived; so excited.

Fun fun, I am all over this book. I am lucky enough to own a pair of Jaime original drawings of Maggie. When I met the Hernandez Brothers at a long-ago Pittsburgh Con, they were set up right next to me & Joe. In the moment after meeting these idols of mine, whose work I discovered in college, I went to sit down at our table & the chair broke underneath me, sending me ass over head into the wall. Jaime graciously helped me to my feet as I wanted to die. both of them were super cool. Joe consoled me later by saying the whole thing sounded just like something that would have happened to Maggie.

He's been so good for so long he gets taken for granted (as does is brother Gilbert). So I hope this book makes many, many people take another look at Jaime's comics. The fact that it's written by Todd Hignite is big plus: Todd's Comic Art magazine was stellar, as was his book In the Studio. Unlike a lot of comics critics, he knows how to talk about art, and not just stories (in fact he knows that the art and stories are intimately tied together.)
