Love and Rockets: Luba and Her Family (comics)

Gilbert Hernandez's sprawling family saga focuses on the United States, where newly immigrated Luba and her sisters, body-builder Petra and therapist/film star Fritz, find their families and friends lives becoming more and more intertwined. As the three sisters have memories of sweet youth, the next generation finds the spotlight: Luba's adult daughter Doralis emcees the proceedings in her role as mischievous host of a children's TV show, while Petra's little girl, Venus, has adventures with her aunt Fritz and her best friend Yoshio. At her mother's urging, Venus also writes missives to her fierce, one-armed cousin Casimira, who's back in Palomar.

In these stories never before collected together Venus tells it like it is!
