Description"IN THE VALLEY OF THE POLAR BEARS"This page absolutely shows why Jaime is in another league. A legend among legends. The storytelling on this single page is incredible. The first 3 panels a masterclass in showing not just the passage of time, but evoking an incredible mood in the scene just through the character posing and expressions. The tension between Vicki and Shrimp is tangible through the page. After this slow burn, we jump into Vicki Glori taking out all her frustrations on Pepper Martinez for Maggie to see. The force in panel 4 and the weight of the characters in panel 5. Jaime adds the crowd for the 6th panel and the cartooning of Pepper being tossed from the ring and Maggie reacting...how can comics be any better? 40 years of this and he should be winning every award every year. Just amazing. More to come! Social/Sharing |

Glad you got this page. That last panel is among my favorites from the magazine-era of Love and Rockets. Poor Pepper!

The first 3 panels are awesome. It is someone who's deep in thought going through a checklist in their mind and not being distracted by anyone. The action panels with the onomatopoeia and stars brings cartooning and high impact together. Hernandez shows ring command and storytelling in this match by how he depicts the performers within the ring.

A well-observed naturalistic progression of jump cuts guides the eye downward to a different panel structure befitting the new tempo of the slapstick comedy scene. Jaime is flexing his skills!

I confess I prefer his (more) sexy women but this is great fun :)

You nailed it in your description, Jason: perfection. Those first three panels are weighted in focus and silence, in the light of a quiet locker room / dressing room. Our eyes traveling down to the second tier or panels here adds velocity to Pepper's impact (as they - our eyes - follow the same path as the slope of Pepper's back), where everything explodes into the sound, fury, and darkness of a packed wrestling arena. Vicki is a beast uncaged, lightyears away from the top tier of panels (and the end of this story is such a great moment between Maggie and Vicki). Absolutely sensational, Jason. Yet ANOTHER epic add! Congrats on building such a fine L&R collection!
