About a year ago I celebrated the release of the latest Love & Rockets series, New Stories, by posting a bunch of the Bros.’ older material. Well, the second issue just came out and what can I say? It\u2019s fantastic. I think every time one of these books hits the shelves there should be a parade or some sort of citywide festival. It\u2019s no less than what the Bros.deserve, right? I\u2019m only one person, though, and this Master Post is my humble contribution.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a huge post so I\u2019ll keep my dumb mouth shut for the most part. Like last time, I appreciate the present by looking back into some lesser seen gems of the past.<\/p>\n

Your Flesh Jam Cover

\u201cDestroy All Fanboys\u201d and “A Life In Comics”, from The Comics Journal #200, 1997, pretty much says it all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The History of the DC Universe had a special hardcover edition which included a foldout pin-up with a shot of many of their characters drawn by many different artists. Jaime contributed a Golden Age Flash\u2026<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Bob Dylan Poster for his radio program.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To close this massive post off, below is a six page Jaime rarity that I recently discovered.\u00a0I don\u2019t recall ever hearing about this or reading about it in any interview. Running as a back-up in Silverheels #3, Jaime started up this story but never returned to it. I\u2019m curious as to what the conditions were for it even existing. The cover date, May, 1984, predates the first Mr. X issue by a month. I can see Mario writing this, but no proper credit box can be found. What gives? Anyway, here it is\u2026<\/p>\n
