Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, known as the Hernandez Brothers, reshaped alternative comics with Love and Rockets, a long-running series blending punk sensibility, Latinx culture, magical realism, and intimate character study. Gilbert’s Palomar stories explore generational sagas in a fictional Latin American town, while Jaime’s Locas narratives follow punk women navigating Los Angeles. Their work stands apart for its emotional depth, evolving character arcs, and sharp social commentary. By centering marginalized voices without compromise, they carved a new path for indie comics, influencing creators across generations and earning a revered place in the canon of graphic storytelling.
