Marc Sobel: Reading Love and Rockets

17 years in the making, Reading Love and Rockets (Fantagraphics, 2024) is a deep dive into the first 50 issues of the Hernandez Brothers’ acclaimed comic series. Author Marc Sobel, in conversation with Austin English, will discuss his scholarly book which seeks to answer the question: What makes Love and Rockets such an enduring classic of the medium?

Marc Sobel is the two-time Eisner-nominated editor of The Love and Rockets Companion (Fantagraphics, 2013) and the author of Brighter Than You Think: Ten Short Works by Alan Moore (Uncivilized Books, 2017). His work has also appeared in The Comics Journal, Boing Boing, Sequart, and Comic Book Galaxy.
