Rocky Rhodes

Rocky Rhodes is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's Locas stories, inhabiting the Southern California punk scene alongside Maggie, Hopey, and Penny Century. She has no superpowers, existing as part of the richly grounded, human cast of the Love and Rockets universe.

Jaime Hernandez introduced Rocky Rhodes to readers in Love and Rockets #5 back in 1984, making her a Bronze Age original from one of alternative comics' most celebrated series. Published by Fantagraphics across an impressive span of roughly 24 years, Rocky moves through a richly drawn world populated by beloved characters like Hopey Glass, Penny Century, and Maggie Chascarillo — the beating heart of Hernandez's Locas universe. With two key-issue appearances to her name, she's the kind of supporting presence that rewards the devoted reader who pays attention to the full, textured ensemble Jaime built so carefully over decades. Ten catalog appearances may sound modest, but in Love and Rockets, every face in the crowd has a life worth following.
