Killer

Jaime Hernandez introduced Killer to the pages of Love and Rockets in 2002, weaving this Modern Age character into the rich, sun-drenched world that has made Fantagraphics' flagship series one of alternative comics' true treasures. Over more than two decades, Killer has kept remarkable company — sharing pages with beloved Hernandez regulars like Maggie Chascarillo, Ray Dominguez, Fritz, and Angel Rivera — the kind of ensemble that signals a character embedded in one of comics' most lovingly realized communities. Appearing across both Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories, Killer is a testament to Hernandez's gift for peopling his universe with figures who feel genuinely lived-in. For readers who prize character-driven, literary comics at their finest, even a small corner of the Hernandez world is worth exploring.
