ABSTRACT
This chapter reflects on the forms in which the Hernandez Brothers have expressed the cultural multiplicity of their creative experience and the way in which, over the last thirty years, Love and Rockets has contributed to and strengthened the parameters of multiculturalism, which has impacted the reality of US comics. In Mark Sobel's recent interview for the anniversary volume, the Love and Rockets Companion, it's interesting how Gilbert articulates the idea of multiculturalism from his personal perspective. There is an important consensus among alternative authors such as Joe Sacco, Charles Burns and Chris Ware, on the relevance and unique value of Love and Rockets. While these authors have been able to restructure themselves to meet the editorial demands of the twenty-first century, centered on the concept of the graphic novel, they are considered the maestros of the alternative fictional comic series because of Love and Rockets.
