While at the San Diego Comic Con, I took the opportunity to (almost)
complete my Love and Rockets reprint concordance.  This is a guide
to which L&R stories from which issues are printed in which volumes
of the three reprint series.  The guide is complete except for one
question: which "Locas" story is the one reprinted in the "Lost Women"
American reprint from Titan (there are three possibilities).

The keepers of the FAQ (and anybody else with lists of comics info
files) are welcome to put my name on their lists with regard to this 
file.

--------

Here's a _Love and Rockets_ concordance, charting which reprint volumes
contain which stories from the regular issues.

I've only entered the story titles when necessary.  

"TCLaR" is the Fantagraphics reprint series, _The Complete Love and Rockets_:
(Notice that volume seven is all-Jaime, and volume eight is all-Gilbert.)

1 _Music for Mechanics_
2 _Chelo's Burden_
3 _Las Mujeres Perdidas_
4 _Tears from Heaven_
5 _House of Raging Women_
6 _Duck Feet_
7 _The Death of Speedy_
8 _Blood of Palomar_
9 _Flies on the Ceiling_

The Titan volumes are identified like so:

US editions: 	Heartbreak Soup (Gilbert)	HS 
		The Reticent Heart (Gilbert)	RH
		Love and Rockets (Jaime)	LR
		The Lost Women (Jaime)		LW

UK editions:	Heartbreak Soup	(G)		HS
		Duck Feet (G)			DF
		Human Diastrophism (G)		HD
		Love and Rockets (J)		LR
		Mechanics (J)			M
		Ape Sex	(J)			AS

The different Titan books (which sometimes have the same titles) can be 
identified by their coloring; the US volumes are mostly black, while the
UK ones are mostly white (or so I've heard).

("Meanwhile, Back at the Ranch" appeared in the color "Mechanics" #1.
 "The Goat" appeared in The Village Voice.
 "Hey Hopey" appeared in "Mechanics" #1 (the color comic).
 "Locas" appeared in "Anything Goes".
 "Inside Back Cover" is from "Mechanics" #3.)

The US "Love and Rockets" volume contains a story called "On th' Road Ag'in" 
starring Penny, which is also in the UK "Mechanics."

The US "Love and Rockets" also contains a "Locas" story; I'm not sure
which.  Therefore I've marked the three candidates (in issue 10, issue
13 and Bonanza) as "LW?".  Any help in settling this question would be
welcomed.
