Rosita Espinosa

Rosita Espinosa stepped onto the pages of Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's The Walking Dead in 2008, arriving in issue #53 alongside some of the series' most iconic survivors — Rick Grimes, Michonne, Glenn, and Andrea — right in the thick of the Modern Age's most celebrated horror epic. Published under Image Comics, she carved out a place across the long, harrowing run of that landmark series, with her story continuing to be revisited in The Walking Dead Deluxe editions that have introduced her to a new generation of readers. With a key issue to her name and nearly two decades of presence in the catalog, Rosita is one of those characters whose staying power speaks for itself — a vital thread in the rich, brutal tapestry of a series that redefined what comics could do with the apocalypse.
