Isabel Ruebens

Isabel Ruebens made her entrance in the very first issue of Love and Rockets in 1981 — a landmark Bronze Age debut from Fantagraphics that collectors have recognized as a key issue to this day. Created by the gifted Jaime Hernandez, she inhabits the richly imagined world that made Love and Rockets one of the most celebrated alternative comics of its era. Her small but meaningful presence puts her in vivid company alongside characters like Paulo P. Piñata, Castle Radium, and La Chota, the colorful ensemble that gives this series its unmistakable texture. For fans who love independent comics with real soul, being there at the very beginning of Love and Rockets is reason enough to seek her out.
