Jennilee

Jennilee is a character created by Gilbert Hernandez inhabiting the emotionally layered world of his Love and Rockets stories, introduced in the anthology's New Stories run alongside characters like Tonta and Dora 'Killer' Rivera.

Jennilee stepped onto the page in 2015, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez — one of the great literary voices in American alternative comics — within the celebrated Love and Rockets: New Stories anthology published by Fantagraphics. She inhabits the rich, emotionally layered Modern Age world that Gilbert has spent decades building, sharing her stories alongside vivid characters like Tonta, Dora "Killer" Rivera, and Gomez. With only a handful of appearances across Love and Rockets and New Stories, she's a quietly intriguing figure for devoted readers who prize the intimate, character-driven storytelling that has made this series a cornerstone of literary comics.
