Bull Marie

Bull Marie is a supporting character in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories, inhabiting the fictional Latin American village that serves as the backdrop for his interconnected tales of community, family, and human drama in Love and Rockets.

Few publishers have nurtured storytelling as distinctive as Fantagraphics, and Bull Marie is a testament to the singular world Gilbert Hernandez began building in Love and Rockets back in 1983 — a Bronze Age debut in one of the most celebrated alternative comics of its era. Appearing across Love and Rockets, Love and Rockets Library, and Mechanics, Bull Marie inhabits the rich, idiosyncratic universe Hernandez crafted alongside characters like Rena Titañon, Duke Morales, and Jesús Ángel. With a presence in the catalog spanning nearly a quarter century, this is a character woven into the long, beloved fabric of Hernandez's work — and for any serious fan of alternative comics, that alone makes Bull Marie worth seeking out.
