Kim

Stepping onto the page in 2015 courtesy of the legendary Gilbert Hernandez, Kim is a Modern Age creation born into one of alternative comics' most celebrated universes — the rich, sprawling world of Love and Rockets. Published by Fantagraphics, that longtime home of literary comics adventurousness, Kim moves through stories alongside a vivid cast that includes Gomez, Tonta, and Danny Chulo, the kind of company that signals real narrative depth. With appearances across both Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories, she's a figure worth seeking out for any fan who appreciates Hernandez's singular, humanist storytelling at its most mature.
