Wilfer

Wilfer stepped onto the page in 2016, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez — one of the most celebrated cartoonists of the modern era — within the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #8, Fantagraphics' beloved anthology that has long been a cornerstone of alternative comics. A modern-age creation with a compact but intriguing footprint, Wilfer moves through a world populated by distinctive figures like Ulu, Animus, Chino, Baby, and Lumina, the kind of richly drawn company that signals you're deep in Hernandez's characteristically strange and humanist universe. Appearing across Love and Rockets, Blubber, and Love and Rockets: New Stories, this is a character for readers who appreciate the rewards of digging into one of alternative comics' most rewarding ongoing worlds.
