Picking up right after Perla La Loca, the third volume of the
definitive Maggie series repackaging, this compilation of stories
from Jaime Hernandez s solo comic Penny Century and his subsequent
return to Love and Rockets (Volume II) charts the further lives of
his beloved Locas. But first... wrestling Penny Century starts off
with a blast with Whoa, Nellie , a unique graphic novelette in
which Maggie, who has settled in with her pro-wrestler aunt for a
while, experiences that wild and woolly world first-hand. Then it s
back to chills and spills with the old cast of Hopey, Ray
Dominguez, and Izzy Ortiz including Maggie s romantic dream
fantasia The Race and the definitive Ray story, Everybody Loves Me,
Baby. Penny Century also features two major flashback stories: Bay
of Threes finally reveals the full back story behind Beatriz Penny
Century Garcia, Maggie s long-time, bleached-blonde bombshell
friend (who gives this volume its name and can currently be seen as
a super-villainess in Love and Rockets: New Stories), while Home
School is one of Hernandez s popular looks at his characters lives
from when they were little kids, drawn in an adorable simplified
Dennis the Menace type style."
