Doralis de los Santos

Doralis de los Santos is a resident of Palomar, the fictional Latin American village at the heart of Gilbert Hernandez's stories in Love and Rockets, connected to figures like Luba and the extended de los Santos family within that close-knit community.

Doralis de los Santos stepped onto the page in 1986, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the landmark Fantagraphics series Love and Rockets — one of the most celebrated alternative comics of the Copper Age and beyond. Over the course of 35 years, she has woven her way through Gilbert's richly populated world, sharing stories with memorable figures like Pipo Jimenez, Maricela, Ofelia Beltran, Casimira de los Santos, and Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez across Love and Rockets, Luba, and Luba's Comics and Stories. She's the kind of character who rewards devoted readers of Hernandez's deeply human, multigenerational tapestry — a face in a community where every face carries weight and history. If you love comics that treat their characters as real people worth returning to across decades, Doralis is exactly the kind of discovery that makes diving into Gilbert's world so endlessly rewarding.
