Frances

Emerging from the pages of Fantagraphics' beloved Love and Rockets in 1990, Frances is a Copper Age creation of the masterful Jaime Hernandez, whose richly human slice-of-life storytelling redefined what comics could be. Though her presence in the catalog is intimate — just four appearances across a brief early-'90s window — she inhabits the same vivid world as characters like Peter Rio, Danita Lincoln, and Steve Stranski, the kind of layered, memorable ensemble that made Love and Rockets a landmark of the form. For collectors and readers who prize character-driven, literary comics over capes and explosions, even a small role in Hernandez's universe carries real weight.
