The Art of Jaime Hernandez: The Secrets of Life and Death

THE ART OF JAIME HERNANDEZ: THE SECRETS OF LIFE AND DEATH by Todd Hignite
Xaime is one of my favorite artists, and if any comic deserves a dissertation, it’s LOVE & ROCKETS, but too much space is dedicated to reprinting “original” art that looks exactly like the printed comics. Why not more sketchbooks, spot illustration and unpublished work? An elitist tone also tastes sour.

Much as I love Jaime's work, I didn't bother with this tome. I wonder if Hignite's new position as resident comics guru at Heritage Auctions has made him more of an assessor and less a fan. I'm sure the elitist tone was amusing to Jaime, though. He's a very unpretentious guy.
