Sonny

Sonny made their entrance in 2011 through the pages of Love and Rockets: New Stories #4, born into the richly human world that Jaime Hernandez has been crafting for Fantagraphics since the early 1980s. A Modern Age creation, Sonny moves through the same vivid East Los Angeles-inflected universe as beloved figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Ray Dominguez, and Hopey Glass — as warm and lived-in a cast as you'll find anywhere in alternative comics. With appearances across Love and Rockets and the celebrated Is This How You See Me? (A Locas Story), this character is a small but genuine thread in one of the most acclaimed ongoing tapestries in the medium. For collectors who treasure Hernandez's deeply felt, novelistic storytelling, even a minor presence in this world is worth seeking out.
