Vivian "Frogmouth" Solis
Vivian "Frogmouth" Solis made her entrance in the pages of Penny Century in 1999, born from the singular imagination of Jaime Hernandez and launched into one of alternative comics' most beloved universes. A Fantagraphics character through and through, she inhabits the rich, sun-soaked world of Love and Rockets — sharing those pages with icons like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Rosalba "Fritz" Martinez, which is about as distinguished a neighborhood as alternative comics has to offer. With appearances stretching across more than two and a half decades and across flagship titles including Love and Rockets: New Stories, Vivian has proven herself a lasting presence in Hernandez's sprawling, deeply human tapestry. If you're a fan of Locas-era storytelling at its most character-rich and emotionally textured, she's absolutely worth seeking out.
