Rex Walker

Rex Walker stepped onto the page in 1989, born from the singular imagination of Gilbert Hernandez in the pages of Love and Rockets — one of Fantagraphics' crown jewels and a defining series of the Copper Age. Across a remarkable 34-year span, Rex has kept vivid company with characters like Maricela, Sean Ogata, and the memorably named Scott the Hog, woven into the rich, sprawling human tapestry that Hernandez has been quietly building for decades. With appearances in both Love and Rockets and Luba's Comics and Stories, Rex belongs to a literary comics universe that rewards devoted readers with layered, interconnected lives — and at least one of those appearances carries genuine key-issue weight for collectors. Fourteen catalog appearances may sound modest, but in Gilbert Hernandez's world, every character earns their place in a story that feels more like life than fiction.
