Itsuki Yeto

Itsuki Yeto made her entrance in the pages of Love and Rockets #17 in 1986, stepping into the richly drawn world Gilbert Hernandez and his brother Jaime were building at Fantagraphics — one of the most celebrated alternative comics publishers of the Copper Age and beyond. Over more than three decades, she's woven through the beloved Locas storyline alongside iconic figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Daffy Matsumoto, the kind of vivid, lived-in cast that made Love and Rockets a landmark of the form. Her appearances stretch all the way to 2019's Is This How You See Me?, a testament to the enduring, novelistic world Jaime Hernandez has tended with such care. If you're diving into one of alternative comics' greatest sagas, Itsuki is one of those quietly essential faces that reminds you just how fully realized this universe truly is.
