Dot Winks

Dot Winks is a supporting character in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories, inhabiting the same richly imagined Latin American community as Luba, Penny Century, and Chelo in the acclaimed alternative anthology Love and Rockets.

Dot Winks stepped onto the page in 1984 courtesy of Gilbert Hernandez, debuting in the pages of Love and Rockets — the groundbreaking Fantagraphics series that helped redefine what American alternative comics could be. A Bronze Age creation woven into Hernandez's richly populated world, Dot moves through a constellation of memorable characters including Penny Century, Luba, and Chelo, the kind of vivid company that signals you're deep in Palomar territory. With a key issue among her appearances and a place in one of the most celebrated comics runs of her era, Dot Winks is a rewarding discovery for any reader ready to dive into the full, sprawling humanity of Love and Rockets.
