Wig Wam Bam is a graphic novel by Jaime Hernandez, serialized in Love and Rockets in 1990–93 and collected in 1994.

Synopsis

[edit]

Background and publication

[edit]

Love and Rockets is an alternative comic book that showcased the work of the Hernandez brothersMario (b. 1953), Gilbert (b. 1957), and Jaime (b. 1959).[1] Most of Jaime's work focused on a group of young women—primarily two named Maggie and Hopey—that have come to be called the Locas stories. The early ones take place in a science fiction world that Jaime was to abandon for character-centered stories in a realistic world, drawn in a slick, streamlined style combining realistic anatomy with traditional cartooning techniques.[2]

Publication

[edit]

The serialization of Wig Wam Bam appeared from June 1990 to August 1993 in Love and Rockets #33–39 and 42. It first appeared in collected form in The Complete Love and Rockets, Volume 11 in 1994.[3]

Style and analysis

[edit]

At 120 pages, Wig Wam Bam is the longest of the Locas stories.[4] The narrative unfolds among a series of unannounced flashbacks.[5]
