Peaky

Peaky made their entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #35 in 1991, stepping into Gilbert Hernandez's richly textured world at Fantagraphics right as the Copper Age was giving way to something altogether more literary and personal. Over more than three decades, this character has surfaced across Love and Rockets and the wilder, more surreal terrain of Blubber, keeping company with beloved Hernandez fixtures like Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez, Maggie Chascarillo, and Ray Dominguez. With nine catalog appearances including one collector-recognized key issue, Peaky is the kind of quietly intriguing figure that rewards the devoted reader who follows Hernandez's sprawling, interconnected universe all the way to its edges.
