High Soft Lisp (Love and Rockets Book 25) By Gilbert Hernandez 144-page black & white 6.5″ x 9.75″ softcover • $16.99 ISBN: 978-1-60699-318-7 www.fantagraphics.com Five six. Hundred twenty-eight pounds. Forty-three twenty-two thirty-six. High soft lisp. Genius level IQ Thats how motivational speaker Mark Herrera sums up Rosalba Fritz Martinez, bombshell, former punkette, former psychiatrist, Z movie star — in this supremely sexy, constantly surprising graphic novel. And Herrera should know, being only one of many to fall under Fritzs lithping spell — others including slobbish rocker Scott The Hog and high school nerd turned obsessive bodybuilder Enrique Escobar (and thats just her husbands). Hernandez has taken this suite of stories (including the 48-page graphic novelette High Soft Lisp), originally serialized in Luba’s Comics and Stories and the second volume of Love and Rockets, and fleshed them out with a dozen brand new pages, creating an original and inventive (and very steamy) volume that, through its connections to his main character Luba (Fritz is Lubas half sister, and characters from the Luba stories pop up here), works both as a standalone graphic novel and a further exploration of Hernandezs rich world.
