Lucha Comics is a Canadian Comic book publisher based in London, Ontario, Canada. Founded as a comic book publisher by Mexican-Canadian entrepreneur Rodolfo Martinez in 2013[1]. Its initial publications consisted of South Korean publications that had never been offered previously in English, including Boom and Stay. Now Lucha continues to publish creator owned content, including titles such as Macbeth: The Red King, Arrowhead, Indios de Corazon, USUD, and The Adventures of Super Yeiya and Tornado Man.
Overview[edit]
Lucha Comics is a Canadian publisher of comics and graphic novels in Canada, with over 20 titles in its current library, covering multiple genres and age groups[2]. Lucha Comics' titles have been translated into many different languages, including Spanish, Russian and Portuguese. Lucha Comics was founded in 2013 by Rodolfo Martinez, a long-time comic book fan and entrepreneur. Lucha launched its imprint in 2013 with Boom: Ugly Old Douchebag, a South Korean publication which was licensed from Blue Wolf Studios for its inaugural English-language version. More South Korean titles followed, including Stay and A Little Story.
Lucha Comics continued to publish creator owned content from global talent, and launched its first full-length graphic novel, The Kursk by Sasha Janowicz and James A. Bretney. As its first printed graphic novel, the successful kickstarter campaign was featured in Bleeding Cool[3]. From there, Lucha continued to add titles, such as Reality and the Aski: The Mayan Warrior series, based on the independent Lucha Libre star in stories reminiscent of classic Lucha Libre films.
Most recently, Lucha Comics has launched:
- Macbeth: The Red King - A new history of Shakespeare's tragic figure, written by Shaun Manning. Rather than draw strictly from Shakespeare's interpretation, Manning conducted extensive research to recreate a new historical perspective on the infamous Scottish king.
- USUD - This modern retelling of a Slavic mythological tale is written and drawn by Zdravko Jandric, as a fantasy/horror story.
- Arrowhead - Written by Damian Wampler, this modern retelling of Moby Dick occurs in a futuristic sci-fi setting
- The Fight We Never Saw - Written by Tony McDougall with art by Roel Palmeira, this story is a combat sports "What If" pitting Muhammed Ali against legendary Cuban boxer Teofilo Stevenson
- Azteq vs. Prowler - Written by Roberto Mercado, this story was adapted into a feature length film in 2019, and pits the star, Azteq against a slasher antagonist (The Prowler) in a story which is a tribute to the classic Mexican Lucha Libre films of the 60s/70s
- Thrillrider - Written by Charles Gervais, the story focuses on a conspiracy by a large multinational conglomerate which infiltrates ageing family-owned amusement parks to deploy and test cutting edge technology
- The Adventures of Super Yeiya & Tornado Man - Written by Rodolfo Martinez, this series stars two young Latinx children who gain super powers after being in close proximity to a meteor impact.
