Love and Rockets #1 CGC 9.6 SS Signed & Sketch Jaime Hernandez 1st app Izzy
Gilbert Hernandez (Stories, Art & Cover) Jaime Hernandez (Stories & Art). Self-published by Los Bros Hernandez, 1981. This was a pioneering and influential black & white anthology comic produced and self-published by brothers Jamie and Gilbert Hernandez, with help from another brother, Mario (known collectively as Los Bros Hernandez). Although the first issue was printed (rather than photocopied), the brothers had to organise, fold and staple all the pages for all 800 copies! Luckily this issue is a little harder to counterfeit than comics such as Gobbledygook #1 & 2 and CGC has enough confidence identifying original copies that they will grade the magazine-sized comic books. Note that some books (not all) have a stamp located on the inside cover. Within a year, the brother's creation was picked up by Fantagraphics Books, who reprinted the initial work and then continued on to publish many more of the serial narratives.
