Rarotonga and her complicated legacy

Apart from Rubi, which spawned its own bigger franchise, there is no Mexican adult comic as captivating as Rarotonga, even though it’s rather stereotypical by both Mexican and most developed countries’ standards. Otherwise, keep in mind that despite its inherent objectification and misogyny (racism is also pretty bad in the comic, albeit not as obvious as the moderately toned down sexism), it remains the better written (1970s onward) and more captivating reboot of a 1950s Mexican adult comic named Taboo, which itself couldn’t hold up much in as early as the sixties, rather tellingly due to being more blatant in terms of sexism than even the original Astro Boy manga created in 1952.  As suggested by looking at her somewhat ambiguous features in such a comic (itself somewhat fair for its day), Rarotonga surely is one of Mexican comics’ first mixed race baddies to gain consistent international popularity (at least in much of Latin America). Although she’s confusingly called a mulatto ...

Kenya Boy and its complicated relationship with Queerness

We have no idea that Kenya Boy has inspired 3 video games, two movies (live action and animation), a manga with 2 runs, a monthly retelling for similar audiences and a live action tv show.  And now for something different! A revised backstory for Zega will unfortunately involve his wife dying of tuberculosis (after all, even though it's native to Africa, it still has shaped human history, but who cares) before Zega himself got raped by his superior (and almost dying because of it). Even sadder was that he surely was pelted on by most people in his village within every frigging whim possible. Zega also seems to be one of a few surviving seniors in a Kenyan Maasai village, since the typical life expectancy of a Maasai person is currently a somewhat measly 55-60 years old (an improvement with somehow more varied diets and slightly more vaccines in comparison to decades ago when it was a measlier 41-45 years old), partly due to both a relatively large lack of vaccines and partly due to...

Here come the Robots!

The certainty that Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine began life with of all things - a classy Tetsujin 28 competitor - is a frankly unknown curio amongst super robot fans outside Japan. Amongst his works besides Kuro Obi Kun and the less popular Tokyo Tarzan, No. 13 Take Off is a creation of Yoshiteru Takano, an unsung manga author turned camera store pioneer.  Despite its more hokey design, it’s much unlike the remote controlled and ugly-cute Tetsujin 28, who likely has the interesting title of being ‘the first robot character of what’s now considered the unlikely but true first Mon-themed work ever’. Although indirectly inspired by Manoel Messias de Mello’s Audaz the Demolisher, the first piloted non-American super robot with its own eponymous comic, Ken Ishikawa’s Getter Robos have more famous exploits. Frankly, the Getter Robos also have another stylistic predecessor in Leonel Guillermo Prieto’s similar but lesser known Invictus from Mexico.  While also inspired by Invictu...
