Jaime Hernandez har i nogle-og-tredive år tegnet på sin version af the great American (graphic) novel: Fortællingen om punktøserne Maggie og Hopey. Undervejs har han for sine historier vundet et utal af Harvey og Eisner Awards i sit hjemland.
I Har du set mig? går Maggie og Hopey fra hinanden efter i årevis at have været det uadskillelige kærestepar blandt vennerne på L.A.’s punkscene. Begge kastes ud i prøvelser, der truer dem på livet, og uden hinandens støtte overmandes de næsten af voksenlivets kompromitterende kompleksitet, mens de prøver at genfinde deres ungdoms frihed – eller i det mindste hinanden.
“One of the most talented artists our polyglot culture has produced.”
– The New York Times Book Review
“Jaime’s Maggie [is one] of the great characters in contemporary American fiction.”
– LA Weekly
“Not like it needs saying, but Jaime Hernandez is a goddamn genius.”
– Resonance
“Love and Rockets was not only a revolution in comics, it was a revolution in Latino letters. It was the first time that people were writing about the kind of Latinos that I grew up where being a Latino was a given… It was a dynamic part of the larger U.S. society, and not some static, nostalgic, sepia-print photo of itself.”
– Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
“The Hernandez Brothers are uncanny. No other man in or out of the field understands women the way they do. (And they ain’t half bad storytellers either!) Love and Rockets is the one book I always recommend to my female friends who’ve never read a comic before.”
– Trina Robbins, A Century of Women Cartoonists
