Bang

From the very first issue of Love and Rockets in 1981, Bang. emerged as part of Jaime Hernandez's groundbreaking Fantagraphics debut — one of the most celebrated launches of the Bronze Age, and a collector's key issue to this day. Sharing the richly drawn world of that landmark series with characters like Penny Century, Rand Race, and Duke Morales, Bang. inhabits the vivid, humanistic universe that made Love and Rockets a touchstone of alternative comics. Their appearances across the series and The Complete Love & Rockets collections are few but rooted in genuinely historic pages — this is a character whose value lies in being present at the creation of something that changed what comics could be.
