Correo

Stepping out of the pages of Fantagraphics' beloved Love and Rockets in 1986, Correo is a Copper Age creation of the singular Jaime Hernandez, inhabiting the rich, sun-drenched world that made that series a landmark of alternative comics. Over a span stretching into the 2000s, this character keeps genuinely remarkable company — sharing pages with Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, Izzy Ortiz, and the rest of the vivid, unforgettable cast that made Love and Rockets essential reading for a generation of serious comics fans. Appearances are select rather than sprawling, which makes each one count, including at least one collector-recognized key issue. For anyone falling deeper into the Hernandez Brothers' universe, Correo is one of those quietly rewarding discoveries that rewards the devoted reader.
