Genius Jr.

Debuting in the pages of Love and Rockets #6 in 2002, Genius Jr. is a creation of the legendary Jaime Hernandez, one of the defining voices of the Modern Age's alternative comics scene. Published by Fantagraphics — the indie powerhouse behind some of the most artistically ambitious comics of the era — this character inhabits the richly textured world Hernandez has spent decades building, sharing pages with a vivid cast including Lily Lillard, Captain M'Vina, and Julio Reyes. With only a handful of appearances in the catalog, Genius Jr. is a rare find, the kind of quietly intriguing figure that rewards the dedicated Love and Rockets devotee who loves to dig deep into Hernandez's sprawling, character-dense universe.
