LOVE & ROCKETS TP VOL 09 ESPERANZA

In this batch of 'Locas' stories by Jaime Hernandez from the pages of Love and Rockets, an older and wiser Maggie faces down her old demons and the 'Ghost of Hoppers' in a full-length graphic novel (which also introduces one of Jaime's greatest recent characters, Vivian the Frogmouth). Meanwhile, the ever-feisty but maturing Hopey transitions from tending bar to teaching nursery school and the final quarter of the book shows Maggie's lovable ex, Ray Dominguez, being dragged into the aftermath of a grisly murder thanks to his falling for the Frogmouth.
