Lovey

Lovey made their debut in the pages of Hate Annual #2 in 2001, stepping into the gloriously sardonic world that Peter Bagge had been crafting for Fantagraphics since the alt-comics boom. Sharing panels with the likes of Buddy Bradley and the wider cast of Bagge's beloved universe, Lovey occupies a corner of one of alternative comics' most celebrated ongoing sagas. With appearances stretching across a dozen years and into Peter Bagge's Other Stuff, this is a character woven into the fabric of Bagge's singular, ink-stained vision of modern American life — a small but genuine piece of a collection worth treasuring.
