Summary:

"Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez--their indelible Love & Rockets, Palomar: Heartbreak Soup Stories, Locas, Human Diastrophism, Poison River, Love and Rockets X, The Death of Speedy, Flies on the Ceiling, High Soft Lisp, Marble Season, Bumperhead, The Love Bunglers, Penny Century--even the spectral "Errata Stigmata"--refracted through a planetary constellation of scholars, critics, and educators. No dry critical tome here; this livewire classroom companion, fugitive syllabus, and field-notes collection tracks how comics born in Oxnard detonated across literature, pop culture, race, gender, sexuality, and border poetics. Contributors read Gilbert's Palomar as haunted cartography of colonial legacies, map Jaime's Locas as queer temporalities of everyday life, decode wordless intimacies in The Love Bunglers, and argue with ghosts, superheroes, and that slippery thing called "Latinidad." They show us Speedy Ortiz dying again and again in American classrooms, Marble Season staging readers' own childhoods, Los Bros Hernandez making our stories and barrio mythos both sacred and strange. The extraordinary educator-scholar league--Fernanda D̕az-Basteris, Samantha Ceballos, Kathryn Frank, Ellen Gil-Gomez, Joanna Davis-McElligatt, Patrick Hamilton, Allan Austin, Regina Mills, Ralph Villanueva, Maite Urcaregui, Chad A. Barbour, Richard T. Rodriguez, William Orchard, Enrique Garc̕a, Jan Baetens, Još Alaniz, Christopher Gonz̀lez, Charles Hatfield, Jessica Rutherford, Anthony R. Ram̕rez, Ȟctor Garza, Theresa Rojas, Marc Sobel, Ilan Stavans, Nhora Serrano, Lalo Alcaraz--plus Jaime and Gilbert themselves--deliver both love letter and critical intervention, equal parts manifesto and mixtape. This is 275 full-color, fully illustrated pages bursting with imagination, epiphany, and discovery"--Amazon.
