The 25th anniversary Love and Rockets celebration continues with the first of three volumes collecting the adventures of the spunky Maggie, her annoying best friend and sometime lover Hopey, and their circle of friends. Maggie the Mechanic collects the earliest, punkiest, most heavily sci-fi Maggie stories, and you can see the artist (who drew like an angel from the very first panel) refine his approach: despite these strong shifts in tone, the stunning art and razor sharp characterisations keep this collection consistent and enthralling throughout.
