Perla la Loca includes the long story "Wigwam Bam", as Maggie, Hopey, and the rest of the Locas prowl Los Angeles, the East Coast, and parts in between trying to recapture the carefree spirit of those early days, and unlocks the secret of Maggie and Hopey's relationship - which develops further in the many other tales collected here.Award-winning writer and artist Jaime Hernandez presents his third collection of "Love & Rockets" stories - a must for any fan of truly adult comics! It is intended for adults!
* American fiction's best kept secret- Rolling Stone * Expressive and elegant cartooning....Magic, real, and literate - and fun to look at too. Grade: A. - Entertainment Weekly * A high point in the comics form, conventional in idiom, but not comparable to any strips before it. - The Washington Post
