Rocketo

Frank Espinosa’s Rocketo (2005–present, Speakeasy Comics) is a visually striking, 5-issue series that blends sci-fi adventure with a deeply personal, expressive art style. Co-written by Espinosa and Marie Taylor, the story follows the titular hero through a surreal, futuristic landscape, with Espinosa’s dynamic, fluid artwork giving the book a distinctive, almost animated energy. A cult favorite from the mid-2000s indie boom, it stands out for its bold, painterly aesthetic and its heartfelt, offbeat take on the classic space-opera genre.
