MAGGIE by Andy Kuhn

I dig Love & Rockets. This was an awesome pick.
I wish I had time to do a proper drawing but I'm currently swamped.
I was barely able to make time to do this headshot.
Hope you like it. Thanks for looking.

MAGGIE by Chris Samnee

Love and Rockets is a book that has always meant a lot to me, Locas especially. I wish I could have done a more fitting tribute to one of my favorite books by one of my favorite comics creators, but I don't have a fraction of Jaime Hernandez's drawing skills.

If you're not familiar with Love and Rockets, or Jaime's work, please fix that ASAP. You should also check out the recent Art of Jaime Hernandezbook, it is simply gorgeous.

Maggie -  Love & Rockets

Great pick, Mike :)

I was used to read Love & Rockets many years ago, in my University years. The sotries were part of a monthly anthology in Italy I was buying religiously every month (other stories included in that anthology were TORPEDO, INCAL, BLACKSAD etc)
At some point they stopped the publication and that's when I lost touch with Jaimie's creation. I need to fix that.

Meanwhile I hope you guys dig this little tribute :)

Cheers,
Francesco

edit - Blogger seems to be shrinking the image for some reason, at least for me. You can see the full sized version here.
