Angel Rivera is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's Locas stories, moving through the East Los Angeles–flavored world alongside figures like Tonta and the Reyna family in the slice-of-life drama that defines the Love and Rockets universe.

Stepping into the rich, sun-drenched world of Jaime Hernandez's Locas universe, Angel Rivera made her debut in Love and Rockets: New Stories #3 in 2010 — a Modern Age arrival into one of alternative comics' most beloved and enduring fictional communities. Published through the fiercely independent Fantagraphics, she moves through a world populated by characters like Gomez, Tonta, and the Reyna family, the kind of lived-in ensemble that has made Love and Rockets a cornerstone of literary comics for decades. Her appearances are select and deliberate, which in Hernandez's hands often signals a character with real weight in the fabric of the story.
