Synopsis
From the author of the critically acclaimed Latinx Top Cow series La Voz De M.A.Y.O, and Helm Greycastle returns with a new untold story lost from the history books!

During the summer of 1943, Los Angeles became a hotbed of tension and conflict as a series of fierce clashes erupted between U.S. Navy members and Mexican American youth stemming from the murder of Carlos Urbano. Private eye Ricardo "Ricky" Tellez needs to find the Sleep Lagoon Killer before the racist mob kills him in the Zoot Suit Riots.

The clock is ticking—and it’s a bad time to be a Mexican.


Plot
Based on true events, this comic reimagines the investigation into the Sleep Lagoon Murder, where racism against Latinos, combined with abuse of power, led to a series of injustices. This story takes place in 1943, when the U.S. prioritized the war, so many social injustices were overshadowed and hidden. At that time, the derogatory term "Pachuco" referred to Mexicans living in Texas who wore suits with wide shoulders and tight legs, along with feathered hats. It was a countercultural movement, a blend of jazz, swing, and Latin roots, that was harshly criticized by other sectors of society. The story is told in the noir detective format, where Detective Ricardo Tellez, a "Pachuco," must overcome racial obstacles to uncover the truth. This graphic novel has significant cultural and historical value, as it addresses issues that are highly relevant today. Includes the book THE SLEEP LAGOON CASE, which features a preface by the great filmmaker Orson Welles. Art
It's organic, with many textures and brushstrokes that give it a naive feel.
Summary
The Pachuco countercultural movement at its peak is narrated in a noir crime format.

Rating
5 out of 5
