Space Girl

Born from the singular imagination of Jaime Hernandez in 1997, Space Girl is a Fantagraphics creation who inhabits the rich, sun-drenched world of Love and Rockets' extended universe — a place where everyday life and something stranger always seem to coexist. She surfaces in Maggie and Hopey Color Special and Penny Century, sharing panels with beloved figures like Maggie Chascarillo, Hopey Glass, and Penny Century's own Norma Costigan, which places her in genuinely rarefied company. Her catalog footprint is small and her window brief — a late '90s flicker across just a handful of issues — but that rarity only adds to her intrigue for devoted Hernandez completists. If you're deep in the Love and Rockets rabbit hole, tracking down Space Girl is exactly the kind of rewarding hunt that makes collecting this corner of alternative comics so special.
