Prize Comics Western's 1950 Bio-treatment of the Life of Joaquin Murrieta is Worthy of the Textmex Hall of Fame--Evil Gringos (Think 19nth Century Trump-heads), Wronged Mexicans y Mucho Mucho Mas More! #mextasy #textmex

 

The March-April edition of Prize Comics Western hit the newsstands in January of 1950 and this issue has a treasure trove of findings for you, my fellow stereotype-hunters!  Penciled by M. Bailey, the story has everything--gore, hangings, treachery etc.--most of it perpetrated by angry, racist gringo Californians hot on the lusty trail for gold, Mexican blood and more! 

The star/victim of "Robin Hood of the Sierras" is Joaquin Murrieta, "bandit"/national hero/corrido-fodder from California history.   More on Murrieta here. 

An added treat for followers of the #bizarrecaucasianbestiary hashtag on blogger, tumblr, instagram, and facebook? None other than "Sandy" the self-wetting rubber doll! Ack! 

mas info!

For more info on Murrieta, California history, and other alleged "rogues" of the Western era, look up  Revolvers and Pistolas, Vaqueros and Caballeros: Debunking the Old West (Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, and Culture) by Cuban cultural critic and librarian Danilo H. Figueredo.

More Artifacts from the Caucasian Bestiary: San Diego Lawn Jockey Edition

They are infamous and documented--common throughout the United States, especially the South: the Lawn Jockey.

However, there is one in San Diego--in Kensington to be exact--that catches the eye and, as such, merits entry into the Tex[t]-Mex Galleryblog Caucasian Bestiary.  I had my camera with me the other day and snagged some suggestive shots!

scary new entry for the caucasian bestiary...

Morpheus is in the house! (or the planet)...Pedro Parquero resurrected! (well, kinda'): Mestizaje raises its head in current comic books and film

Follow this link here to a report from Newsarama on Africano actor Lawrence Fishburne's upcoming role as the fairly caucasoidal (and double entendre-d) Perry White in director Zack Snyder's forthcoming film release Superman—Man of Steel.

And this link here to an honest Newsarama essay on race, culture, and Marvel Comics' new Spiderman—a half-Ethiopian, half-Mexican teenager by the name of Miles Morales ("my mestizaje sense is tingling").
