Pupusi

Pupusi is a character inhabiting Gilbert Hernandez's adult experimental comics universe, debuting in Love and Rockets: New Stories #7 and appearing in provocative titles like Blubber and Garden of the Flesh, sharing space with recurring Hernandez figures such as Fritz Martinez.

Born into the richly imaginative world Gilbert Hernandez built at Fantagraphics, Pupusi made their debut in Love and Rockets: New Stories #7 in 2015, stepping into the Modern Age alongside a cast that includes the likes of Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez and Mila Castellon — names that will quicken the pulse of any Love and Rockets devotee. Pupusi's appearances span titles like Blubber and Garden of the Flesh, two of Hernandez's most boldly experimental works, which tells you something about the kind of boundary-pushing company this character keeps. With 11 catalog appearances across a handful of years, Pupusi is a figure for readers who love digging into the deeper, stranger corners of one of alternative comics' most celebrated universes — the kind of discovery that rewards the devoted fan willing to follow Gilbert's vision wherever it leads.
