Julio Reyes

Julio Reyes steps onto the page in the Modern Age as a quiet but memorable creation of the legendary Jaime Hernandez, debuting in Love and Rockets #1 in 2001 under the Fantagraphics banner — one of the most celebrated imprints in alternative comics. Over roughly a dozen years, Julio carved out enough of a presence to anchor his own dedicated series, Julio's Day, sharing his world with a cast of distinct characters including Vivian "Frogmouth" Solis, Mark Herrera, and the Lillard family. With 14 catalog appearances and a named solo title to his credit, Julio Reyes is a testament to Hernandez's gift for building characters whose lives feel genuinely, intimately worth following.
