Casey

Born into the richly textured world of Gilbert Hernandez's Love and Rockets, Casey made her debut in 1983 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age — as part of one of the most celebrated independent comics ever published by Fantagraphics. She moves through a world populated by unforgettable figures like Penny Century, Speedy Ortiz, and Ofelia Beltran, the vivid ensemble that makes Hernandez's storytelling so warmly human and endlessly rewarding. Though her appearances in the catalog are few, every page of Love and Rockets carries weight, and sharing that space with such a remarkable cast is a distinction in itself.
