Augustín Jiménez

Augustín Jiménez is a supporting character in the Hernandez Brothers' Love and Rockets, inhabiting the richly interconnected world surrounding Maggie Chascarillo and her circle of family, friends, and acquaintances in their slice-of-life, literary storytelling.

Augustín Jiménez made his entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #10 in 1985, stepping into one of Fantagraphics' most celebrated and literarily ambitious series right in the heart of the Bronze Age. Over a run stretching into the mid-1990s, he inhabits a richly drawn world alongside the likes of Maggie Chascarillo, Chelo, Diana Villaseñor, and Heraclio Calderon — the kind of vivid, interconnected cast that made Love and Rockets legendary among discerning readers. With two of his nine appearances recognized as key collector issues, Augustín carries real significance within that tapestry, a figure worth seeking out for anyone who loves comics that treat character and community as their beating heart.
