Who is Reno Banks?

Reno Banks is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's slice-of-life Locas stories within Love and Rockets, moving through the interconnected social world shared by Maggie Chascarillo, Ray Dominguez, and Doyle Blackburn in their Southern California community.

Reno Banks made their debut in the pages of Love and Rockets #8 in 1984, stepping into Jaime Hernandez's richly imagined world at Fantagraphics during the Bronze Age — a landmark indie universe that would grow into one of comics' most celebrated achievements. Over nearly three decades, Reno kept vivid company with beloved figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Ray Dominguez, and Doyle Blackburn, woven into the warm, complex tapestry of relationships that makes Love and Rockets so endlessly rewarding to revisit. For collectors and readers who treasure character-driven storytelling at its most human, tracking down Reno's appearances across Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories is a quiet pleasure worth pursuing.
