Ruby

Ruby stepped onto the page in 1993, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez — "Beto" — in the pages of Love and Rockets, Fantagraphics' landmark anthology that defined what literary comics could be. A Copper/Modern Age creation, she inhabits the rich, emotionally textured world Beto built, sharing her stories with a vivid ensemble that includes Maggie Chascarillo, Ofelia Beltran, and Gina Bravo. Her appearances are few and choice — a rare figure whose presence in this celebrated series alone makes her worth seeking out for any serious fan of the Hernandez brothers' legacy.
