Fumble

Fumble made their entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #4 in 1983, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez during the Bronze Age and published under the celebrated Fantagraphics banner. Over roughly thirteen years, this character wove through the rich, idiosyncratic world that the Hernandez brothers built — a landscape populated by the likes of Penny Century, Rocky Rhodes, and Chelo, as vivid and human a cast as you'll find anywhere in alternative comics. With appearances across Love and Rockets, Mechanics, and The Complete Love & Rockets, Fumble is a genuine piece of that groundbreaking universe, and one of their appearances even carries key-issue status for collectors. Eleven catalog appearances may sound modest, but in the densely crafted world of Hernandez's Palomar and beyond, every character earns their place — and Fumble is no exception.
