Including a post-show panel with comic artists Gilbert, Jaime and Natalia Hernandez in person.

"One of the most original and influential comic projects ever." —David Barnett, Guardian

"The blueprint for alternative comics for adults in the eighties and nineties."—Sam Thielman, The New Yorker

In 1981, Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez wrote "Love and Rockets #1," a self-published comic book edited by their brother Mario. They sold that first issue at conventions for a dollar apiece and submitted it to be reviewed at The Comics Journal. The magazine’s editor, Gary Groth, offered to republish it through Fantagaphics Books, his independent publishing house. The brothers accepted and made graphic novel publishing history. The storylines have continued for over 40 years as their fanbase in the alternative comic book scene has grown.
