Can't thank you enough for the link. I am a big fan of Mexican comics.  Needless to say, what started me off on them were the masked Mexican superhero wrestlers. There are some sites available with piles of Mexican - and S.A. - comics.
DC Comics used to take us to L.A., when I was in aka, for the retailers do. The first time I was there, out at Universal City, I took the bus downtown and saw some street kiosks with piles of Mexican comics. I suppose I did overdo it a bit.  Bought a lot. Not only Santo but Tinieblas; Blue Demon; Sensacional de Luchas and some others.  More recently, online, the rather more risque Luchas Calientes.
Great stuff, particularly the Santo fotonovels with him using a jetpack.
