Chivita Dominguez

Chivita Dominguez is a supporting character in Gilbert Hernandez's slice-of-life alternative comics universe, connected to figures like Ray Dominguez and appearing across the Los Angeles–set narratives that run parallel to the Locas stories in Love and Rockets.

Chivita Dominguez made her entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #23 in 1987, a Copper Age debut from Fantagraphics that placed her squarely in one of alternative comics' most beloved and enduring universes. Created by Gilbert Hernandez, she's woven into a richly human world where she shares stories alongside iconic figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Ray Dominguez across titles including Love and Rockets: New Stories and Is This How You See Me?

For collectors and readers who treasure character-driven alternative comics at their finest, Chivita is one of those names worth seeking out.
