Hernandez was particularly influenced by Hank Ketcham's Dennis the Menace and Dan DeCarlo's Archie' comics. They read all types of comics and enjoyed those that gave a fairly realistic depiction of family life as well as the standard superhero adventures. "I wanted to draw comics my whole life." "We grew up with comics," Hernandez said. His family embraced comics: their mother read them frequently and old issues were kept in large quantities in the house, to be read and re-read by all over the years. He is the youngest of his family, with four older brothers and one sister. Jaime Hernandez grew up in Oxnard, California. Jaime (sometimes spelled Xaime) Hernandez (born 1959) is the co-creator of the alternative comic book Love and Rockets with his brothers Gilbert and Mario.
