Pocket-size historietas — pulp comic books — sell millions of copies every month in Mexico. Now novelist and musician Eddy Robert Arellano has written an English-language historieta, following Eddy, our hero, down to Sonora, where he chases after a dama named Juanita … and just could end up Dead in Desemboque.
With three separate stories drawn by three separate artists — William Schaff, Richard Schuler, and Alec Thibodeau — Dead in Desemboque comes out this month from Soft Skull Press. Today on the Comics Page, we’re proud to present an excerpt from the first story, drawn by Schaff.
