Rosie

Rosie is a supporting character in Jaime Hernandez's Love and Rockets universe, inhabiting the same richly realized world as Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Penny Century. She debuted in the pages of the Penny Century series published by Fantagraphics.

Rosie stepped into the world of alternative comics in 1999, born from the pen of Jaime Hernandez in the pages of Penny Century — one of Fantagraphics' crown jewels and a cornerstone of the beloved Love and Rockets universe. She moves through a richly populated world, sharing pages with icons like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Penny Century herself, the kind of vivid, fully realized cast that has made Hernandez's corner of comics legendary. Her appearances are select rather than sprawling, which gives her a certain quiet intrigue — a face you lean in to catch whenever she surfaces across Love and Rockets and Penny Century. For collectors who love character-dense, literary alternative comics at their finest, Rosie is one of those rewarding discoveries hiding in plain sight.
