Julio Juan

Julio Juan steps onto the page in the Modern Age pages of Gilbert Hernandez's beloved Love and Rockets, debuting in issue #17 (2006) from Fantagraphics — one of the most celebrated alternative comics publishers in the business. With a modest but meaningful presence across Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories, Julio Juan inhabits the richly textured world Hernandez has spent decades building, sharing his stories with a vivid cast that includes Rose "Angel" Rivera, Golden Girl, and Pipo Jimenez. A small catalog footprint only adds to the intrigue — in Hernandez's hands, even a handful of appearances can leave a lasting impression on readers who know to pay attention.
