The Love and Rockets Companion contains interviews with Gilbert, Jaime and Mario Hernandez, foldout family trees for both Gilbert's Palomar and Jaime's Locas storylines, unpublished art, a character glossary, timelines and the most wide-ranging Hernandez Brothers bibliography ever compiled, including album and DVD covers, posters and more.

A deep dive into the first 50 issues of the Hernandez Brothers' acclaimed comic series, this scholarly book seeks to answer the question: What makes Love and Rockets such an enduring classic of the medium? Love and Rockets by Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario Hernandez is one of the greatest comic series ever created. However, running consistently for 40 years and encompassing a diverse array of characters, settings, and cultural influences, this literary universe can be daunting to explore. With Reading Love and Rockets, writer Marc Sobel offers an accessible entry point into L&R, an invaluable resource to both new readers and fans who want to deepen their understanding of the series.
