Twyla

Stepping onto the page in 1994 through the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez, Twyla is a quietly compelling presence in the celebrated Love and Rockets universe published by Fantagraphics. She emerges in the rich Copper/Modern Age milieu that made Love and Rockets one of alternative comics' most treasured ongoing worlds, sharing her brief but memorable run with a vivid cast that includes Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez, Vicki Glori, and Alejandra Vargas. With only a handful of appearances in the catalog, Twyla is one of those intimate, elusive figures that rewards the devoted reader who loves discovering the quieter corners of Hernandez's deeply human storytelling.
