From Cocinas to Lucha Libre Ringsides: A Latinx Comics Anthology, edited by Latinx scholar Frederick Luis Aldama and children’s book author Angela Sánchez, is a big-hearted anthology of Latinx comics celebrating food, sports, and the persistent influence of both on Latinx culture and identity. The stories offer complex memories of family and home cooking as well as the rambunctious spectacle of lucha libre wrestling. In this 12-page excerpt from the story “Lamesa” by artist Andrés Vera Martínez and writer Valerie Martínez Cabrera, the creators offer the tale of a Mexican-American father’s 1950s childhood and the shame of being ridiculed in school for his poor English and for the food he brought from home. From Cocinas to Lucha Libre Ringsides: A Latinx Comics Anthology, edited by Frederick Luis Aldama and Angela Sánchez, is out now from Mad Creek Books.
