Laura

Stepping out of the sun-drenched, emotionally charged world of Jaime Hernandez's Love and Rockets, Laura made her debut in issue #9 back in 1984 — right in the thick of the Bronze Age's most exciting alternative comics renaissance. Published by Fantagraphics through the late '80s and into the early '90s, she inhabits the rich, interconnected universe that gave readers Hopey Glass, Maggie Chascarillo, Luba, and Tonantzín Villaseñor — some of the most beloved characters in independent comics history. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Laura is one of those quietly intriguing figures who flickers at the edges of a landmark series, making her a genuine discovery for the dedicated Love and Rockets devotee digging deep into Jaime's beautifully rendered barrio world.
