Lily Lillard

Lily Lillard steps onto the page in the Modern Age classic Love and Rockets, debuting in the 2001 launch of that beloved Fantagraphics series under the masterful hand of Jaime Hernandez. Sharing her world with the likes of Taggert Lillard, Debra Lillard, Julio Reyes, and the memorably named Chestwig, she inhabits the richly human, street-level universe that has made Love and Rockets one of the most celebrated alternative comics of any era. Her nine catalogued appearances across a run stretching into the mid-2000s may be compact, but in Hernandez's hands every panel carries weight — and any character woven into this tapestry is well worth seeking out.
