Rocket Rhodes

Rocket Rhodes is one of the quietly compelling figures woven into Jaime Hernandez's richly human tapestry at Fantagraphics, debuting in Love and Rockets #10 in 1985 — right in the heart of the Bronze Age, when that landmark series was redefining what alternative comics could be. Over roughly 24 years, Rocket turns up across both Love and Rockets and Love and Rockets: New Stories, sharing pages with beloved Jaime regulars like Maggie Chascarillo, Penny Century, and Terry Downe — the vibrant, interconnected community that makes Hoppers so irresistible to readers. With a collector-significant key issue among their appearances, Rocket Rhodes is exactly the kind of character that rewards the devoted fan who digs deeper into one of comics' most celebrated and enduring universes.
