Lucy

Lucy is a minor supporting character in Gilbert Hernandez's Palomar stories within Love and Rockets, inhabiting the same close-knit Latin American village setting as Luba and other residents of that richly drawn fictional community.

Stepping out of the sun-drenched, emotionally rich world of Fantagraphics' Love and Rockets, Lucy made her debut in issue #6 back in 1984 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age — courtesy of the singular vision of Gilbert Hernandez. She inhabits the same vivid, literary universe as Luba, Maricela, Pepa, and a cast of unforgettable characters that made Love and Rockets one of the most celebrated alternative comics of its era. Her appearances are few but choice, including one collector-recognized key issue, making every panel she graces feel like a discovery worth savoring. For fans who love comics that read like great fiction, Lucy is one of those quietly essential figures woven into a landmark series that changed what the medium could be.
