Judith

Gilbert Hernandez brought Judith to life in the pages of New Love #4 in 1997, a product of the rich, idiosyncratic Fantagraphics universe that made Love and Rockets one of alternative comics' most celebrated corners. She's a Modern Age creation who keeps vivid company — sharing pages with the likes of Roy, Fritz, Taggert Lillard, Captain M'Vina, and Petra across Love and Rockets and New Love. Her catalog footprint is intimate rather than sprawling, which in Beto's hands often signals a character drawn with quiet precision and real emotional weight. For fans who love character-driven alternative comics at their most personal, Judith is exactly the kind of discovery worth chasing down.
