Señor Salas

Señor Salas stepped onto the page in 1990, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the pages of Love and Rockets — Fantagraphics' landmark anthology series that redefined what alternative comics could be. A figure of the Copper/Modern Age, he moves through a world populated by compelling characters like Rex Walker, Ray Dominguez, and the Rio brothers, the richly textured human landscape that makes Hernandez's storytelling so magnetic. With seven catalog appearances across a focused run in the early nineties, Señor Salas is the kind of quietly specific character that rewards devoted readers of Love and Rockets — a small but genuine piece of one of comics' most celebrated creative universes.
