- Summary:
- "For the past 40 years, acclaimed graphic novelist and Love and Rockets co-creator Jaime Hernandez has been privately amassing a body of work that no one else has ever seen--until now. Set in the heyday of 1960s and '70s women's wrestling and lucha libre, Queen of the Ring presents selected pieces from this secret archive, lovingly worked over using materials and processes outside of the scope of his beloved comics work. Threaded with commentary by the author himself, Hernandez's pin-ups, action shots, imagined magazine covers, and sketches present a fictional history of an iconic sport and culture, and an unprecedented look into the artist's creative process"--Back cover.
