Jaime Hernandez

Emerging from the fertile independent comics scene of 1983, Jaime Hernandez is a Bronze Age figure whose presence in the pages of Love and Rockets helped define what literary alternative comics could be. Published by Fantagraphics across nearly four decades, this character shares the page with an unforgettable ensemble — Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, Luba, and Vicki Glori — the kind of richly drawn company that signals a world worth returning to again and again. With appearances stretching from 1983 all the way to 2022 and titles like Is This How You See Me? rounding out the catalog, this is a character woven into one of the most celebrated and enduring runs in American independent comics history.
