Music for Mechanics is the first album of the American comics series Love and Rockets written and drawn by Los Bros Hernandez and published in 1985.
The cover of the compilation is by Jaime Hernandez and the preface by Carter Scholz.
These first stories, dated 1981-1985, are very science-fiction oriented, adding monsters and dinosaurs and extra-terrestrials to the first latino themes, and some stories and themes cannot be considered canon with the universes developed by the brothers in later books.
