Hermy

Debuting in the pages of Albedo #5 in 1985, Hermy is a Bronze Age creation of Steven A. Gallacci, born from the fertile independent comics scene that made Fantagraphics a home for distinctive, artist-driven storytelling. Over a publishing span stretching nearly three decades to 2014, this character found a particular home in Critters and Albedo, sharing those adventurous pages with celebrated figures like Nilson Groundthumper and Miyamoto Usagi — genuinely distinguished company in the world of independent anthologies. A modest appearance count makes Hermy a rewarding discovery for collectors who dig deep into the rich, idiosyncratic corners of the Fantagraphics catalog.
