Relámpago!, created by Judge Margarito C. Garza in 1977, was the first Mexican American superhero in the American comic book industry. The series only ran for three issues, and Azteca Productions managed to get the remaining amount of issues #3. Garza created the character to give Mexican-American youth a hero of their own, fighting crime and embodying links to both Catholic and Mexican folklore. Story and art depict Corpus Christi, Texas barrios and well-known local landmarks and businesses. Includes a story based on sightings of the legendary Giant Bird of Robstown, widely reported in Texas news media in 1977. Own a piece of history from Azteca Productions, Inc.
