Guero

Born into the sun-drenched, mythic world of Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar in 1983, Guero is a Bronze Age creation from one of alternative comics' most celebrated universes — Fantagraphics' landmark Love and Rockets. Sharing the rich, interconnected pages of Palomar with memorable figures like Luba, Chelo, and Arturo, Guero inhabits a community that Hernandez built into one of the most fully realized settings in comics history. Though their catalog footprint is small, appearances in New Tales of Old Palomar and across the Love and Rockets library place Guero within a body of work that has endured and been celebrated for over two decades — and any character touched by Hernandez's Palomar is worth seeking out.
