Terry Downe
Terry Downe is a fixture of the Locas stories in Fantagraphics' Love and Rockets, set in the fictional California barrio of Hoppers. A friend and acquaintance within Maggie and Hopey's circle, she navigates the gritty, everyday world of punk subculture and working-class life.
Terry Downe stepped onto the page in 1984's Love and Rockets #8, a Bronze Age arrival conjured by Jaime Hernandez for Fantagraphics' landmark alternative comics anthology β and she's been woven into that richly human world ever since. Over a remarkable 35-year span, Terry keeps vivid company with some of the most beloved characters in indie comics: Hopey Glass, Maggie Chascarillo, Izzy Ortiz, and the wider cast that makes the Locas corner of Love and Rockets feel as alive and real as any neighborhood you've ever known. With three key-issue appearances to her name and a presence stretching into Is This How You See Me? and even Aargh!, she's a figure of genuine staying power in one of alternative comics' most celebrated universes. If you're exploring the deep, character-driven world Jaime Hernandez built across decades, Terry Downe is absolutely worth your time.
