On of the best series that I have ever read, and this interview really speaks to why I loved it so much.

Some spoilers but no more than someone explaining why you should read it.

I saw this Lance Conklin Powell board awhile ago and thought it looked great. Turns out all the characters were from a comic book series called Love and Rockets, which I had never heard of before. I'm not heavy into comics but I like them. So I saw this board and wanted to check the series out. Then I read an interview w/ Junot Diaz where he said that Love and Rockets was a major influence on him, so that made me more intrigued. Then I bought a few comics, they're way more violent/sexual than I thought, but still well-written/drawn. I'd like to own the whole series eventually.  Same with The Maxx. Would a major board company even collaborate w/ an indie comic any more? Or has that happened and I'm unaware of it? Anyway.

Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario Hernandez kill it dude. I wish some comic collab boards would come out more often. Obviously you had Hooks Ups doing the same type of shit, but in a different fashion. Then again if someone teamed up with some rad comic artists it might expose people to said artist guess it's a business dynamic and what demographic they're hinting at. Don't know if alt/comix are a big thing for most skateboarders these days. Either way that board is awesome and keep reading Love and Rockets.

when i was in grade school this weird kid used to basically pay me in comic books and pokemon cards to be his friend. wasnt all pity though guess we did have fun playing vidya games and biking around. its through him i met my childhood best friend on his street and we both started sk8ing. other kid didnt commit and his dad was openly racist so we just had him around for his shitty flatbar until the day my friend broke his board as soon as he showed up. point is i had a limited edition copy of pirates of blackwater issue 1 back in the day. probably not worth much and lost it though. not that i even want it
