“El Loco” Will Make It’s Debut At Tucson Comic-Con!

I live in Arizona, it’s hot, boring, racist and crazy!

But somehow you need to keep yourself entertained. Reading comics is great, but creating them? Well, its more fun! Specially when you get creative ideas like this one. I am looking forward to reading this, I mean a mexican super hero? Of course!

The creative team behind this is Henry Barajas writing, Arnie Bermudez pencilling and Jason Griffin doing colors (greyscale).  The book is a mini done in black and white. It is a very juvenile attempt to address very mature issues in our society.  The story deals with a Mexican-American field worker who becomes a crime fighter after a plane that is spraying a field he is working on is struck by lighting and he is struck as well. The pesticides and lightning have an unknown effect on him and he decides to begin fighting crime with his new abilities.

He builds his arsenal and look out of things he  has easy access to. He wears a sombrero and poncho, with a bandana for a mask. It is unsure whether he is really a super hero or just plain ”loco”.  He lives in a rough Mexican neighborhood somewhere on the Arizona border and works to help out his nana and tata who raised him after his parents were killed due to gang violence.
