South of the Border Pulp


Trouble brews now that my 'interest' in these comics has moved from collecting cover scans to buying the comics themselves and scanning the covers. Apart from a fine eBay purchase, I found a tiny bookstore in Downtown LA that sells these by the hundreds. They seem to stock old and new. If it didn't sell, it's there until it does.

Surprisingly, some of these (the above) are in full color throughout.   


I love where the artist has positioned the explosion here. These are truly sensational works of art, cinematic, lurid, and filled with enormous energy.  


This one looks more European than Mexican to me. Not sure why the woman's chest is not exploding into crimson.


Beautiful Western image with a strong erotic edge.

Perhaps a publisher such as Taschen will assemble these masterworks into a thick, heavy, coffee table book one of these days.

These comics are beggin' for it!
