Sid Doan

Sid Doan stepped onto the page in 2001, a Modern Age creation of the legendary Jaime Hernandez, whose Love and Rockets has long been one of Fantagraphics' crown jewels. Over a publishing span that stretched through the mid-2000s, Sid shares the rich, character-dense world that Hernandez built — rubbing shoulders with the likes of Vivian "Frogmouth" Solis, Ray Dominguez, and Milena Loznika, a roster that speaks to just how layered and lived-in that universe feels. With appearances notable enough to earn a spot in The Year's Best Graphic Novels, Comics, and Manga, Sid may be a compact presence in the catalog, but every Hernandez character carries weight — and for devoted readers of Love and Rockets, even seven appearances can leave a lasting impression.
