It's Here! What more do you need to know? Well, for starters, Love and Rockets has returned to its original magazine size format, that it last appeared in, dare we say it -- last century! This time around, however, we are treated to a nice, heavy, stiff cover stock that will better withstand the repeated readings each issue is sure to receive, and which makes for a greater feel of permanence and durability. As for the contents of this first issue, we can't say, as it only just arrived; but we doubt you need to hear any superlatives here to convince you that this is something you should be picking up. The grand voyage continues...
Another packed volume edited and designed by Chris Ware. Collecting the entirety of 1931 and 1932 of Frank King's Gasoline Alley.

A sketchbook cum travel journey of a journey into depths of mental illness by a cartoonist who lived to tell the tale. Full color.
"This is a sketchbook of madness, of a brilliant cartoon craftsman way off his meds, and will take you to some very dark plaaces... but LOVF always finds a way." – Kevin Huizenga
"LOVF breaks my heart as it visually transcribes a cartoonist's descent into madness; equal parts confounding, bleak, psychedelic, and beautiful. I'm ever grateful to Jesse and Fantagraphics for preserving and sharing such intimate vultnerabilities with the world." – Craig Thompason
