Mini Rivero

Mini Rivero is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's Locas universe, connected to the superhero-tinged world of Penny Century and the Ti-Girls, rubbing shoulders with costumed figures like Golden Girl, Cheetah Torpeda, and Boot Angel.

Jaime Hernandez introduced Mini Rivero to the rich, sun-drenched world of Locas in 1997's Maggie and Hopey Color Special, and this Fantagraphics character has kept remarkable company ever since — sharing pages with Penny Century, Golden Girl, and the wonderfully named Cheetah Torpeda and Boot Angel across a span of fifteen years. Her appearances cluster most notably in Love and Rockets: New Stories, Penny Century, and God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls, placing her squarely in Hernandez's beloved superhero-inflected corner of the Love and Rockets universe. With only eight catalog appearances she's a tantalizing figure rather than a household name, but in Jaime's hands even a glimpsed character carries weight — and for devoted Locas readers, tracking down every panel she inhabits is exactly the kind of rewarding deep-dive that makes this world so endlessly worth exploring.
