Jaime Hernandez — Love & Other Strange Tales Of Summer

Original Art and The Artists

“Love and the Space Phantom,” Strange Tales II #2, January 2011

Jaime Hernandez writing and drawing a light-hearted story with the women of Marvel? In their beach best? How did I miss this one?

Scott Eder broke up the originals to the complete short story back in this past Spring and I happened to see it just as it became available.

All the pages are fun, and the cover (with the goofy supervillains lurking in the background) is naturally terrific —and priced accordingly — but I think I did pretty well with this great one-of-a-kind splash.

Extra dividend: The published story features spot-on coloring by the uber-talented Laura Allred.

Jaime (Xaime) Hernandez — ?!?!?

Original Art and The Artists

Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy #4, December 1987

All-star creator Jaime Hernandez delivers a great cover — full of quirky fun — for the short-lived Fantagraphics humor publication, Centrifugal Bumble-Puppy.

Coincidentally, this cover appeared at the same time (December 1987) as one of Jamie’s best-known Love & Rockets covers, #24, which, among other swipes and homages, has been purloined by a number of musical acts for posters.

(That original published Jamie image remains iconic — It’s still available as a t-shirt, nearly forty years later.)

Sadly, the Bumble-Puppy cover isn’t available as a t-shirt.

 Not yet, anyway.
