Lowriders in Space by Cathy Camper, 111 pages
If you are looking for a realistic look at life as a female mechanic, Lowriders in Space is probably not the best choice. If you are looking for an awesome interpretation of what it might like to have your car detailed by celestial bodies, read this book NOW! Cathy Camper's lighthearted tale of a gang of misfit auto-shop workers is original and highly enjoyable without ever taking itself too seriously. Raul the Third has some impressive ballpoint drawings that make each page interesting, delightful and whimsical. For as much focus as the book puts on "Bajito y Suavecito" (low and slow "the motto of lowriders everywhere") it is a very quick read but be sure to spend time studying the pictures in this graphic novel. They are too fun to pass through quickly.
