Prester Junior

A product of Jaime Hernandez's singular imagination, Prester Junior debuted in the pages of Love and Rockets in 2001, stepping into one of alternative comics' most beloved and long-running anthologies from Fantagraphics. Though their catalog footprint is small — just three appearances across a brief early-2000s window — that's entirely in keeping with the rich, densely populated world Hernandez has always built, where characters like Chestwig, Fritz, and Genius Junior orbit one another in stories that reward devoted readers. For fans of Hernandez's craft and the Love and Rockets universe, even a minor player carries the warmth and wit that have made this series a cornerstone of Modern Age alternative comics.
