Alicia

Alicia made her entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #31 in 1989, stepping into one of the most celebrated alternative comics universes of the Copper Age — Gilbert Hernandez's richly human, endlessly surprising world published by Fantagraphics. With a compact but memorable presence across her appearances, she moves through stories alongside a vivid cast that includes Scott the Hog, Steve Stranski, Sean Ogata, Peter Rio, and El Fontanel — exactly the kind of colorful, idiosyncratic company that makes Love and Rockets such a rewarding world to explore. For collectors and readers who prize literary, character-driven comics at their most alive, even a small footprint in Hernandez's work carries real weight.
