Lucha in LOVE & ROCKETS and Jaime Hernandez interview

This article originally appeared in Odessa Steps Magazine, issue 5 in 2015, which was our lucha libre issue that debuted in conjunction with that year’s CMLL Anniversario (since friends of the pod/magazine Randy, Cecilia, Rob and The Cubs Fan were all attending the show that year in Mexico City and they were kind enough to deliver some issues to the luchador(a)s in the issue). As a long-time fan of LOVE & ROCKETS (back to the original magazine days), I’d always love the use of wrestling in the comic. I believe, at least at the time, this was the first “known” article about the use of lucha in the book So, in honor of Jaime’s new book QUEEN OF THE RING, a gorgeous collection of his wrestling art, here is the article, along with the interview I did with Jaime at the time. Be sure to get a copy of the new book in your local comic shop or online.
