Hot Mexican Love Comics

Albert Calleros and Robert Goodin’s Hot Mexican Love Comics ran for six issues from 1996 to 2008, a self-published series that blended saucy romance with a distinctly Chicano perspective. The comic’s playful, over-the-top title matched its content—a mix of melodrama, humor, and adult-themed storytelling centered on the lives and loves of its characters. As an indie labor of love spanning more than a decade, it stands as a unique artifact of late-20th-century small-press comics, capturing a niche voice often absent from mainstream shelves.
