Alarma

Bursting onto the scene in 2008 courtesy of the incomparable Jaime Hernandez, Alarma is a Modern Age creation from Fantagraphics' beloved Love and Rockets universe — a character who inhabits the gloriously idiosyncratic superhero corner of that world alongside the likes of Vakka Boome, Boot Angel, Espectra Negra, Golden Girl, and Tasha. Her appearances are concentrated in Love and Rockets: New Stories and God and Science: Return of the Ti-Girls, making her a rare and intriguing figure for collectors who know that in Hernandez's hands, even a small handful of appearances can carry enormous weight. If you're drawn to the boundary-pushing, deeply personal superhero storytelling that only Fantagraphics and Los Bros Hernandez deliver, Alarma is exactly the kind of discovery worth chasing down.
