Ray Dominguez

Ray Dominguez is a young Latino man living in the Hoppers neighborhood of Huerta, a fictional Southern California barrio. He appears in Jaime Hernandez's 'Locas' stories, navigating everyday life, friendship, and romantic entanglements alongside Maggie, Hopey, and their circle.

Ray Dominguez stepped onto the page in 1987's Love and Rockets #20, a Copper Age arrival from Jaime's pen who has quietly proven himself one of Fantagraphics' most enduring presences — still appearing in 2026, nearly four decades after his debut. With 54 catalogued appearances across Love and Rockets, Penny Century, and Love and Rockets: New Stories, Ray is woven deep into the rich, sun-drenched tapestry of Jaime's Locas universe, sharing his world with beloved figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, Doyle Blackburn, and Luba. Two of his appearances carry key-issue status, a testament to the weight a character can accumulate not through spectacle but through sheer emotional presence. If you're falling in love with Jaime Hernandez's storytelling, Ray Dominguez is exactly the kind of character who rewards your attention.
