Time and again I have tipped my sombrero to the remarkable treasures to be found at
Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine, but now he has outdone himself with a post that jibes/gels/fuses with my #textmex and #mextasy researches/art/presentations and more.
One of his latest entries is a comic book from 1951 that fictionalizes the life and times of Lupe Velez--the 'Mexican Spitfire' that figures at the heart of my research in Myra Mendible's
From Bananas to Buttocks and in my own
Tex[t]-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the "Mexican" in America {(Quality Comics’ Love Secrets #41 (1941), reprinted from Love Confessions #9 (1951)}

and the tragic climax to her life--
