Love and Rockets #3 p. 01-02 (1983)

Black panels are the best! Makes this a real winner. Plus its from one of the best series of all time and features some great early art.  Thanks for posting!

It's been a minute since some great Jaime Hernandez art was posted on CAF. Great early story in which you can see Jaime building out his Locas world and fleshing out the characters. 

Bursting with creativity. 

Loving the Jaime dark inks on this early night drive scene 2 pager!

A beautiful looking complete short story! And I always love the occasional appearances of super heroes in the story line.

Seminal! That title logo!!

Love everything he did bur really love what he did in issues 2 and 3. Thanks DC!! 

Fantastic. Show it off when we do a Jaime L&R update video!!

Stellar! What a powerful inks. As you said, Jaime has an incredible control on this medium.

It's no secret that I just haven't been able to get into this series on either of my two reading attempts, but it bears mentioning that even this early on in the series, the art was already really nice. This is an excellent example with lots of nice little things going on!

Love the metaphor of the old gas guzzling car getting stuck on the tracks like one feeling hopeless about their future.  It could go either way, but the will to live and a glimmer of hope is all it takes.

Fantastic sequence.  As you mention the 9 panel grid is used to great effect here showing an early confidence and fluency in the lexicon of comics.  

Amazing.  The seminal issue where Jaime's style jumped from sci-fi to the cleaner lines and characters we came to know and love.

Beautiful art, congratulations!

I never read this series, but I sure can appreciate the art! Congratulations!
