Golden/Silver Age Love & Rockets Poll!

I had to check FB's website to see what was in which volume, but after doing so, it's def. The Girl From H.O.P.P.E.R.S.

I just bought the first two Gilbert volumes at my local comic store, on sale, twenty bucks the pair. Never read them before. Excited.

My reading of this stuff is waaaaaaaaaay too spotty.

twenty bucks the pair.

Wow, I'd definitely be buying the whole set at that price. In fact, I may buy them anyway and give my daughter my copies of the big Locas and Palomar hardcovers for xmas.

I have all of them except Amor Y. I got 'em all on amazon for like 6 to 9 bucks; they're my most favoritest books I own and I'm madly in love with them. I think all of them have been lent out at least once.

I read all of these (except for Amor Y Cohetes) over the course of six weeks or so a while back, and I've got to go with Perla La Loca, though Girl from H.O.P.P.E.R.S. is excellent as well. I didn't get as into the Gilbert stories, though I enjoyed Love and Rockets X a fair bit.

Human Disastrophism is basically Blood of Palomar? OK, I vote for that.

it's Blood plus about 200 pages of other stories.

I went for Perla La Loca, just 'cause it's got "Wig Wam Bam" in it. What an amazing story...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

i could never choose, but i chose heartbreak soup

I can't choose.

i read half of "new stories" or whatever it's called last night, good stuff. nu-gilbert continues to be pretty violent + surreal (which i guess it always was, but both those elements seem to be emphasized?)(speaking of which, did 'speak of the devil' finish?).

It did, getting more violent (& surreal) every step of the way. Collection comes out early November.

cool, i just need to pick up that last issue.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
