Frontera Day 1

Join us for the first day of Frontera Fest, brought by the amazing Southwest Review. We’ll have with us Los Bros Hernandez: Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, raised in a comic-filled home in Oxnard, California, were influenced early by Marvel comics, punk rock, and their mother’s storytelling. Their seminal work, “Love and Rockets,” emerged in the 1980s as a cornerstone of alternative comics, renowned for its subversive approach and rich character development, particularly of strong, complex women. Integrating punk’s anarchic spirit into their narratives, they crafted stories that transcended conventional superhero tropes, offering a fresh, authentic perspective on life’s multifaceted realities.
