In this timely and
transformative collection of interviews,
Aldama brings to life the stories,
achievements, and creative process of 29
Latino-and Latina!-comic book artists.
Jettisoned to new heights of exploration,
this vertiginous journey opens us to a
world of breathtaking visual-verbal
creativity and the embrace of a
resplendently diverse and eager community
of readers. Latino comic book
storytelling, its characters, and wondrous
world-makings vitally transform, renew,
and replenish the comic's field. They are
the revolution-and Aldama's at the
frontlines to capture it all.
