Alexis

Born into the pages of Peter Bagge's landmark alternative series Hate in 1995, Alexis is a creature of the mid-nineties Fantagraphics underground — the kind of character who feels pulled straight from the margins of real life rather than the drawing board. Sharing the page with fan-favorites like Buddy Bradley, Lisa Leavenworth, and the rest of Bagge's gloriously dysfunctional cast, Alexis inhabits a world where indie comics were doing things superhero books simply couldn't. With appearances across both Hate and the Hate Annual, this is a character for readers who appreciate the rich, messy humanity that made Bagge's work essential reading for a generation of alternative comics devotees.
