Violet Brunet

Gilbert Hernandez introduced Violet Brunet to readers in Love and Rockets: New Stories #6 in 2013, weaving her into the rich, sun-drenched tapestry of characters that has made Fantagraphics' Love and Rockets one of the most celebrated ongoing sagas in alternative comics. She moves through a world populated by beloved Hernandez creations like Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez, Ray Dominguez, and Gomez — as distinguished a roster of literary comic characters as you'll find anywhere in the Modern Age. Her appearances span across Love and Rockets: New Stories, Love and Rockets, and Tonta, placing her squarely within Beto's endlessly inventive storytelling universe. A compact presence in the catalog, she's the kind of quietly intriguing figure that rewards the devoted reader who follows every thread Hernandez lays down.
