Nacho Chascarillo

Nacho Chascarillo is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's slice-of-life Love and Rockets series, inhabiting the same close-knit Southern California community as Maggie Chascarillo and her circle of friends and family.

Nacho Chascarillo is a Fantagraphics fixture born from the fertile imagination of Jaime Hernandez, debuting in Love and Rockets #39 in 1992 and quietly persisting across more than three decades of one of alternative comics' most beloved ongoing sagas. Part of the richly populated world that includes Maggie Chascarillo, Fritz Martinez, and Ray Dominguez, Nacho inhabits the warm, novelistic neighborhood that Hernandez has been building since the Copper Age. With appearances spread across Love and Rockets, Love and Rockets: New Stories, and Penny Century, this is a character woven into the very fabric of a comics universe that rewards devoted, long-term readers — exactly the kind of supporting presence that makes Jaime's storytelling feel as lived-in and real as any neighborhood you've ever known.
