Mando

Mando made their entrance in 1987's Love and Rockets #23, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez and published by the fiercely independent Fantagraphics. Stepping into one of alternative comics' most beloved and richly populated worlds, Mando shares the page with iconic figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Speedy Ortiz, and Ray Dominguez — the warm, complicated community that has made Love and Rockets a cornerstone of the medium for nearly four decades. It's a testament to the enduring vitality of Hernandez's storytelling that this universe, and the characters woven through it, keeps expanding well into the 2020s.
