Anonymous Publisher's Weekly staffer reviews PENNY CENTURY via FlogBlog
Scott Cederlund on PENNY CENTURY: "I think I have a few issues of Jaime Hernandez's PENNY CENTURY mini. All I really remember of it is women wrestlers. I still need to finish the original LOCAS stories one of these days." [Just buy the damn books and stick 'em in a box somewhere, buyers not readers that's what we want! New Fantagraphics ad campaign coming soon. Seriously, this is one of my favorite capsule reviews, it's nice to come across a casual L&R reader.]

  1. The BBC 6Music show which features the review of The Art of Jaime Hernandez is the Nemone show (guest hosted by Andrew Collins) which can be found in the 1pm slot at the above link. (Though you could do a lot worse than listen to an entire day's worth of 6Music...)
