Beverly

Gilbert Hernandez brought Beverly to life in the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #8 in 2016, nestled within the rich, literary world that Fantagraphics has long championed as one of alternative comics' crown jewels. A Modern Age creation, Beverly moves through a cast that includes the likes of Gomez, Lumina, and Enrique Escobar — the kind of vivid, deeply human company that the Love and Rockets universe is celebrated for. Her appearances are intimate in number but carry the weight of a universe where every character feels fully realized, which is the Hernandez brothers' singular gift. For readers who treasure character-driven, artistically ambitious comics, Beverly is a quiet discovery worth making.
