Dot Winks

Dot Winks stepped onto the page in 1984 courtesy of Gilbert Hernandez, debuting in the pages of Love and Rockets — the groundbreaking Fantagraphics series that helped redefine what American alternative comics could be. A Bronze Age creation woven into Hernandez's richly populated world, Dot moves through a constellation of memorable characters including Penny Century, Luba, and Chelo, the kind of vivid company that signals you're deep in Palomar territory. With a key issue among her appearances and a place in one of the most celebrated comics runs of her era, Dot Winks is a rewarding discovery for any reader ready to dive into the full, sprawling humanity of Love and Rockets.
