Love and Rockets #9 Title Page 1 (ENTIRE PAGE IS FULLY DRAWN ART INCLUDING TITLE!) 1984

Planet-hopping Rocky Rhodes and her Radaron robot buddy are featured on this title page inspired by the science fiction that had a long-lasting influence on the Hernandez brothers. Dynamic art by the one and only Jaime Hernandez! This early 1984 title page "The Adventures of Rocky and Her Robot, Fumble." though only their 3rd appearances marks the first time Fumble is added to the story title. The previous 2 titles were from issue #4 "Out O' Space" & #5 "Retro Rocky", but it wasn't until this issue #9 they were given their own title together. From the Great Comic Book Heroes Blogspot about this Page & Story- Jaime's art is in full flower in this early strip from Love and Rockets #9, Nov. 1984. Though only black and white, it feels fully realized because of his skill with balancing the blacks and whites. He often employs a very dramatic chiaroscuro style, showing just the highlights silhouetted on a black background to great effect. His characterization is really wonderful here, with the great dialog and interactions between Rocky and Fumble. He turns a simple scene like Fumble waking Rocky up into a great drama. "Then why didn't you let me twenty four more hours? Forty eight hours? Why did you wake me just now?" It's such a joy to read their beautiful interactions and beautifully expresses an age of confusion, doubts, longings and wonders.
