Chocolate Skateboards: Devine Calloway Hand Signs Deck

First to recommend

Description

The raised fist (also other names, including red fist and clenched fist) is a salute most often used by political and social activists of a leftist, anti-fascist, or simply anti-capitalist orientation, such as Marxists, anarchists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists. Generally the fist is regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance.

The salute has also been known as the clenched fist or closed fist. Additionally, different movements sometimes use different terms to describe the raised fist salute: amongst communists and socialists it is sometimes called the red salute, whereas amongst black rights activists, especially in the United States of America it has been called the black power salute. During the Spanish Civil War, it was sometimes known as the anti-fascist salute

In this particular case it simbolizes the power of skateboard master Devine Calloway. Uh-huh!!

Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories

First to recommend

Description

One of my favoite love stories. Many times I wished that someone would make the Maggie and Hopey story into a movie, but then I think it's better in the hands of Jaime Hernandez.

Locas tells the story of Maggie Chascarrillo, a bisexual, Mexican-American woman attempting to define herself in a community rife with class, race and gender issues. Locas: The Maggie and Hopey Stories was created over 15 years from 1981 to 1996 in the pages of the legendary comic book series Love and Rockets.

Maggie's story begins in the early-1980s Southern California rock scene, when it was shifting from the excesses of the 1970s to the gritty basics of punk and new wave. Hardcore punk rock came to the fore, and the teenaged Maggie finds herself drawn to the anarchy, energy and diversity of the scene, which in Jaime's hands becomes a very real, habitable place populated with authentic human beings rather than stereotypes. She quickly befriends Hopey Glass, a feisty anti-authoritarian punkette who quickly becomes Maggie's on-again, off-again lover and a constant presence in her life throughout the book.
