Hilda Beltran

Hilda Beltran is a character in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories within Love and Rockets, inhabiting the richly drawn world of characters including Luba and Ofelia Beltran, suggesting family ties within that community.

Hilda Beltran stepped onto the page in 1989, born from the imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the pages of Fantagraphics' beloved Love and Rockets — one of the most celebrated alternative comics series of the Copper Age and beyond. She moves through a richly populated world alongside the likes of Maggie Chascarillo, Luba, Ofelia Beltran, Maricela, and Hopey Glass, the kind of vivid, complex company that made Love and Rockets legendary. With one of her appearances recognized as a key issue, Hilda is a character worth tracking down for any serious collector of alternative comics' golden era of literary storytelling. Small in number of appearances but embedded in one of the most artistically significant runs in comics history, she's a rewarding discovery for fans who love digging deep into Hernandez's intricate human tapestry.
