Elias Lincoln

Elias Lincoln is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's slice-of-life stories within Love and Rockets, inhabiting the same working-class, punk-inflected world as Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Ray Dominguez.

Elias Lincoln stepped onto the page in 1987, born from Jaime Hernandez's pen in the landmark Fantagraphics series Love and Rockets — one of the most celebrated alternative comics of the Copper Age and beyond. Over roughly two decades, Elias carved out a quiet but persistent presence in that richly human world, sharing stories with beloved figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Ray Dominguez. With 13 catalogued appearances, two of them recognized as collector-significant key issues, he's the kind of character that rewards devoted readers who know Love and Rockets is about so much more than superheroes — it's about life itself. If you're tracing the full tapestry of Jaime's storytelling, Elias Lincoln is a thread worth following.
