Errata Stigmata

Few characters carry a name as unforgettable as Errata Stigmata — and this Fantagraphics fixture, born in the pages of Love and Rockets #2 back in 1983, has lingered in the alternative comics universe ever since. A Bronze Age creation of the Hernandez Brothers, Mario and Gilbert, she emerged from one of the most celebrated independent comics launches in history, sharing those richly imagined pages with icons like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, Luba, and Penny Century. Her presence has stretched across nearly four decades and into titles like Birdland and Madman 20th Anniversary Monster!, a testament to the strange, enduring gravity that the Hernandez world exerts on its characters. With 19 catalog appearances and at least one key issue to her name, Errata Stigmata is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that rewards the devoted Love and Rockets reader willing to dig in.
