Fantagraphics Books Publishes Jaime Hernandez's "Queen of the Ring"
Fantagraphics to Publish QUEEN OF THE RING: WRESTLING DRAWINGS BY JAIME HERNANDEZ (1980–2020)
Featuring 125 Never-Before-Seen Illustrations of Pin-Ups, Action Shots, and Fake Wrestling Magazine Covers
SEATTLE, WA - For the past four decades, Jaime Hernandez has been creating some of the most beloved graphic novels of all time. He’s been honored as a member of the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, and he’s received the prestigious PEN Award, an L.A. Times Book Prize, and numerous Harvey, Ignatz, and Eisner Awards. But what does the lifelong Angeleno do to relax? He draws ― and, for more than forty years, he has been drawing and privately amassing a body of work that no one else has seen. Until now.
This August, Fantagraphics will publish QUEEN OF THE RING: WRESTLING DRAWINGS BY JAIME HERNANDEZ, featuring 125 never-before-published illustrations that celebrate the women who are often ignored in pro wrestling. Through a series of pin-up pages, action shots, and fake wrestling magazine covers, Hernandez introduces an all new cast of fictional characters: the beautiful and brutal Bettie Rey; the I.F.W. Pacific Women’s Champion ― a.k.a. Golden Girl; former champions Pantera Negra and Miss Kitty Perez; and many more― all presented in a large hardcover format that echoes the wrestling magazines of the 1960s and 70s. We celebrate their victories and witness their defeats. The years pass by, the women age, and new champions are crowned. As Hernandez says, “It’s my Love and Rockets world that’s not my Love and Rockets world.”
“Jaime’s already created one of the most expansive and remarkable casts of comic book characters of all time in his Love and Rockets stories,” said Fantagraphics Associate Publisher Eric Reynolds. “It’s a testament to his gifts as a storyteller that he’s created a second cast of memorable characters, and it’s our good fortune that he’s decided to share this private world he’s been creating for four decades with all of us.”
“Even in his drawings of women that were never meant for public consumption, there is a wealth of compassion and charm, and a depth of world building and storytelling,” said the book’s editor, Katie Skelly. “I’m so honored to be able to bring this work to the world. My hope is that these drawings will shed light on Jaime’s remarkable studio practice, as well as spread his infectious enthusiasm for the world of women’s wrestling.”
QUEEN OF THE RING: WRESTLING DRAWINGS BY JAIME HERNANDEZ spotlights the heyday of 1960s and ’70s women’s wrestling and lucha libre and includes an interview with Hernadez and fellow cartoonist Katie Skelly, who edited the book. Fantagraphics will publish QUEEN OF THE RING: WRESTLING DRAWINGS BY JAIME HERNANDEZ on August 3, 2021.
Queen of the Ring is available for order now via Fantagraphics: fantagrapics.com/queen-of-the-ring

“The Organ People”
Geiger is a comic book series from writer Geoff Johns and artist Gary Frank. Published by Image Comics, Geiger is set on a dying Earth in the years after a nuclear war ravaged the planet and focuses on a “walking bomb” hero. Colorist Brad Anderson and letterer Rob Leigh complete the series' creative team.
Geiger is set 20 years after the nuclear conflict known as the “Unknown War” ravaged the planet, turning Earth into a dying world. In the state of Nevada, desperate outlaws battle for survival in a world of rapidly disappearing resources and supplies. In Boulder City, Nevada, there resides the fearsome man known by many names: Joe Glow, The Meltdown Man, and the Walking Bomb, to name a few. But before the war, he was simply a man named Tariq Geiger. So who or what is Geiger, now?
Geiger #4 (“The Organ People”) opens with another flashback reveal of Tariq's past life. Now, it's time for Geiger and the siblings, Hailee and Henry, to begin their journey to the place on the map the children's later mother, Candace, gave to them. Early in the journey, they meet “the Organ People,” and things change.
Meanwhile, back in Vegas, the identity of “the Beast” is revealed. Plus, rival casino bosses strike a dangerous bargain.
THE LOWDOWN: As first issues go, Geiger #1 was mostly an introduction, kind of like a prologue. It introduced the title character, Geiger, giving readers a look at who he was in the past and a glance at who he is now. Geiger #2 went inside Las Vegas. With Geiger #3, Geoff Johns began to excavate the heart of the character drama and the passion of old grudges and conflicts.
With Geiger #4, Johns executes his first game changer – in terms of Geiger and the children's fates. Readers, however, will love the Mad Max 2/The Road Warrior action sequence and the A Boy and His Dog vibe.
In the third issue, Gary Frank's pencil art captures the emotions, passions, and hotter blood of the relationships of the past that shape the present of Geiger's narrative. In this fourth issue, Frank goes back to the kind of action comic book art and graphical storytelling that he regularly executes as a superstar superhero comic book artist. He makes Geiger #4 a bracing read.
I'm all in on Geiger now, and I highly recommend it.
I READS YOU RECOMMENDS: Fans of Geoff Johns and Gary Frank will want to check out Geiger.
