Together with his brothers Gilbert and Mario, co-created the award-winning comic book series Love and Rockets. He is best known for his Locas stories, which follow the exploits (romantic and platonic) of his original characters, Maggie and Hopey. Love and Rockets has evolved into one of the great bodies of American literary fiction, spanning four decades and countless high-water marks in the medium’s history. In 2017, Jaime was inducted into the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame, has won innumerable comics awards, and was the 2014 winner of The Los Angeles Times Book Prize. His upcoming 2021 book is Queen of the Ring, a collection of his original women’s wrestling drawings created over the past 40 years.
