Killer

Killer is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's Locas stories, inhabiting the Los Angeles barrio world alongside Maggie Chascarillo and her circle of friends and acquaintances.

Jaime Hernandez introduced Killer to the pages of Love and Rockets in 2002, weaving this Modern Age character into the rich, sun-drenched world that has made Fantagraphics' flagship series one of alternative comics' true treasures. Over more than two decades, Killer has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with beloved Hernandez regulars like Maggie Chascarillo, Ray Dominguez, Fritz, and Angel Rivera — the kind of ensemble that signals a character embedded in one of comics' most lovingly realized communities. Appearing across both Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories, Killer is a testament to Hernandez's gift for peopling his universe with figures who feel genuinely lived-in. For readers who prize character-driven, literary comics at their finest, even a small corner of the Hernandez world is worth exploring.
