Thimbelina

Thimbelina made her entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #1 in 2008, born from the imagination of Jaime Hernandez during his celebrated Modern Age work for Fantagraphics. She inhabits a vivid corner of the Love and Rockets universe where superhero mythology and intimate storytelling collide, sharing adventures with a wonderfully eclectic roster that includes Vakka Boome, Boot Angel, Espectra Negra, Golden Girl, and Tasha — names that suggest a rich, idiosyncratic superhero world all Hernandez's own. Her appearances extend into God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls, one of Jaime's most beloved forays into retro-flavored superhero fantasy. With only a handful of catalog appearances, Thimbelina is a rare gem for devoted Love and Rockets completists who know that in Hernandez's hands, even a brief appearance carries real weight.
