🎉 El Peso Hero Continues to Earn Major Scholarly Recognition! We’re honored that El Peso Hero is being studied as a vital example of Latino artivism and border storytelling. The chapter “El Peso Hero: Comic Book Protagonists of the (Un)Documented Latinx Experience” (co-written by Héctor Rodríguez III and Kaitlin E. Thomas) appears in the Eisner Award-nominated anthology Latinx Comics Studies: Critical and Creative Crossings (Rutgers University Press). And now, a powerful new scholarly article — “Undocumented border crossing and migrant activism: the artivism of Mexican American graphic fiction” — further examines the series’ impact on migrant activism and comics as resistance. These academic milestones highlight 15 years of authentic, bilingual border narratives that matter. #PesoHero15 #EisnerAwards #LatinxComics #Artivism #BorderStories #GuardianOfTheBorderlands https://lnkd.in/gpEYyjz8
