My 6th and newest Poster Comic is available for viewing...THE BATICALACA!
(Click on the image to see a larger, readable version on my page at DeviantArt.)
The Baticalaca is one of the heroes of the CALACAS OF JUSTICE, my Day of the Dead-themed super hero group. A previous Poster Comic featured another hero from the group, The Spider-Calaca.
This Poster Comic will be available for FREE this coming Saturday, May 5, at the LATINO COMICS EXPO, while supplies last. I'll be exhibiting both days at the Expo, being held again this year at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. Free Comic Book Day is a national event with participating comic book stores giving away free comic books created exclusively for the event. I wanted to have a free giveaway as well and figured the brand-new BATICALACA Poster Comic would be a great way to do it!
It's March, so that means it's time for an all-new Poster Comic. Introducing The Spider-Calaca!

Back in 2010, I had come up with the idea of doing a whole series of characters based on the calaca (skeleton) figures seen during the Mexican holiday, Dia de Los Muertos.
Here are some of the superheroes I created. Spider-Calaca, Calaca Americano and BatiCalaca:
With the new Poster Comic, SPIDER-CALACA is the first of the CALACAS OF JUSTICE to appear in a comic. Let's keep our fingers crossed for more Calacas appearing in more comics!
This is my fourth Poster Comic to date, having released one every month since December 2011. If you'll be around Orange County/L.A. County the weekend of March 16-18, I'll be at WonderCon all weekend. Look for me in the Small Press area, table 033. I'll have all my Poster Comics available for purchase (11" x 17" full color prints) as well as all my other comics.
