In the follow-up to the LA Book Prize-winning The Love Bunglers, the Locas get the band back together—literally.

Maggie and Hopey leave their significant others at home and take a weekend road trip to go to a punk scene reunion in their old neighbourhood. Threaded throughout are flashbacks to 1979, during the formative stages in their lifelong relationship, as the perceived invincibility of youth is juxtaposed against all of the love, heartbreak, and self-awareness that comes with lives actually lived.

Serialized over the past four years in Love and Rockets: New Stories and the new comic book series, Is This How You See Me? collects Hernandez’s unsentimental, long-form masterpiece together for the first time. Black & white illustrations throughout.

Is This How You See Me? beautifully captures a community of misfits, showcasing the full spectrum of human emotion through its protagonists Maggie and Hopey, as praised by PopMatters. The LA Times highlights its authentic portrayal of Latinas as complex individuals, while the Toronto Star calls it a must-read for any Love and Rockets fan. Acclaimed as another transcendent addition to the beloved series by the Arkansas Democrat Gazette and lauded by the Chicago Tribune as an ideal entry point to the 'Locas' stories, this volume is celebrated as one of the finest in American comic book history.
