Inez

From the very first issue of Love and Rockets in 1981, Inez stepped into one of the most celebrated independent comics of the Bronze Age — Jaime Hernandez's richly human world published by Fantagraphics. Over more than two decades, she keeps remarkable company, sharing pages with beloved figures like Penny Century, Luba, and Duke Morales across Love and Rockets and Birdland. With two key-issue appearances to her name, Inez is a character that serious collectors and devoted Hernandez fans have marked as worth seeking out. She's a quiet testament to the depth and longevity of one of alternative comics' most enduring universes.
