Royal octavo (9 3/4" x 7") bound in original publisher's pictorial stapled wrappers. First editions. In 1965, Eduardo del Río 'Rius' launched a comic that would leave a deep mark on Mexican popular culture. This is ' Los Supermachos' , whose protagonist was Juan Calzonzin, an indigenous man with surprising knowledge and social awareness. Over the decades, 'Los Supermachos' drew a faithful and humorous portrait of the events of national life, both in the field of politics and from the point of view of the different ideologies that shaped the 20th century Mexican society. Unlike other comics that circulated in his time which range from the melodrama of 'Lágrimas, risas y amor' , the exotic adventures of 'Kalimán' and the innocent humor of 'Memín Pingüín' to the irreverence of 'Simón Simonazo' , 'Los Supermachos sought to educate and enlighten its readers through the humorous description of situations in the political life of our country and aspects of the idiosyncrasies of our society.
