Jesús

Jesús stepped onto the page in 1983, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the landmark Love and Rockets #4 — a Bronze Age debut in one of the most celebrated alternative comics series Fantagraphics ever published. Sharing that richly populated world with characters like Chelo, Carmen, and Vicente, Jesús inhabits the warm, complex human landscape that made Love and Rockets a touchstone of the artform. Nearly two decades of publication speak to the enduring life of that universe, and even a character with a modest number of catalog appearances can carry real weight in a story this carefully crafted. For collectors who prize literary comics at their most alive, any corner of Hernandez's world is worth exploring.
