Rosario

Rosario is a character created by Gilbert Hernandez inhabiting the Latin American milieu of Love and Rockets, connected to the world surrounding figures like Fritz Martinez and Maggie Chascarillo in Hernandez's long-running alternative comics universe.

Rosario stepped onto the page in 2016, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #8 — one of the most celebrated alternative comics series in the modern era. A Fantagraphics character through and through, Rosario inhabits the rich, sun-drenched world that the Hernandez Brothers have been building for decades, sharing stories with beloved figures like Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez and Maggie Chascarillo. With around ten appearances across Love and Rockets and its anthology companion, Rosario is the kind of quietly compelling presence that rewards the devoted reader who pays attention to every corner of Hernandez's sprawling, deeply human universe.
