Review The Complete Crumb Comics, Vol. 15: Mode O'Day / Fantagraphics Books:It's the swinging 80's period of Crumb's career now featured in the multiple award-winning Complete Crumb Comics series. The mid-1980s period of Crumb's career is compiled in this 15th volume of the series, a period that many critics consider to be the richest of Crumb's career. Anchored by Crumb's contributions to the seminal anthology Weirdo, created and edited by Crumb, this volume includes the first several appearances of classic Crumb character Mode-O-Day, the networking fashion plate that serves as a foil for some of Crumb's most biting satire about America's cultural elite. Also included are Crumb's first collaborations with the late writer Charles Bukowski, as well as several collaborations with Harvey Pekar from his autobiographical series American Splendor. The book is rounded out with a color section that includes rare album art for various jazz and blues greats, as well reproductions of his various comic book covers from this period.

Review Locas in Love (Love and Rockets (Graphic Novels)) / Fantagraphics Books:Jaime Hernandez (who, along with his brother Gilbert, created the most influential alternative comic book of the last 20 years in Love and Rockets) presents the first collection of his current ongoing comic book series, spotlighting the first four issues. A critical and commercial smash-hit in the world of alternative comic books, the stories collected here earned Hernandez the coveted Best Artist Harvey Award in 1998. Although Penny Century refers to one of Hernandez's most popular characters - a voluptuous platinum-blonde heiress whose wealth affords her the luxury of indulging her fantasy life as a costumed superheroine-cum-bon vivant - the title Penny Century functions more as a catch-phrase for the optimistic mood of the series, in which anything can and does happen, where seemingly unrelated stories, when read together, give texture to a larger canvas.
