Whether you’re a seasoned fan or new to the format, dive into the vibrant world of graphic novels – where stunning visuals meet compelling narratives.

The selection for July is Maggie the Mechanic: A Love and Rockets Book by Jaime Hernández. The title collects the earliest and most sci-fi stories where, in addition to our heroes, we meet bombshell Penny Century, weirdo mentor Izzy, wrestler Rena Titanon, and potential love interest Rand Race. As well as seeing Hernandez develop as a cartoonist from 1981 to 1989, readers will see how he draws characters with various body types that change as they age in “real-time.” These stories first appeared in the seminal, long-running (and ongoing) Love and Rockets comics series, also featuring work by Jaime’s brothers, Gilbert and Mario. L&R has been called “the greatest American comic book series of all time” by Rolling Stone and “a great, sprawling American novel” by GQ
