Lola Falana Junior

Emerging from the pages of Fantagraphics' beloved Love and Rockets in 2001, Lola Falana Junior is a Modern Age creation of the incomparable Jaime Hernandez, one of alternative comics' true masters of character and community. Over a handful of appearances across the early 2000s, she inhabits the rich, interconnected world Hernandez has spent decades weaving, sharing her stories alongside the likes of Lily Lillard, Captain M'Vina, and Henry Tweeder. She may be a compact presence in the catalog, but in Jaime's hands even a few pages can leave a lasting impression — and for devoted Love and Rockets readers, tracking down every thread of that tapestry is half the joy.
