Description

I love everything about this Jaime Hernandez cover from the second volume of Love and Rockets.

- The confidently posed Beatríz Garcia, already well on her way to becoming Penny Century.

- The meticulously individualized classmates milling around during P.E. class - Does any artist do real people better than Jaime? Each background character on this cover tells a story.

- The leaves poised in the air behind Beatríz/Penny. Such a small yet beautiful flourish from a master artist.
