El Heroe, SPKO!'s Veteran Luchador!

El Heroe is one of my favorite characters and plays mentor to Joe early on in the series. The veteran of SPKO may still looks 20 years old but he's a true in ring competitor. I made the conscious decision for him to NOT speak broken English in volume 2 like in volume 1. I thought it was pretty insensitive in retrospect.  Plus, he would’ve picked it up between his kids and working SPKO matches in an English-speaking country right? So early on in volume 2, you see him reading a Speak English series of books. Several months later and El Heroe’s as fluent as the rest of the cast. Also catch the Kofi Kingston reference :D Boom! Boom!

I also enjoy drawing his two sons, El Heroe Jr. and Amancio. It’s a “same-dad- different –moms” scenario for the two brothers. El Heroe’s 2nd wife is pretty chill but we have yet to me his first wife.  Hmmm.

Amancio

El Heroe Jr.

Mrs. El Heroe

I also love his little comic book within the comic book, El Heroe Supers. I did a short mini comic bonus feature about it a year ago. Here it is for all of you:

I have a couple side stories about El Heroe’s earlier year. I hope to include some as a bonus story in SPKO one day. Maybe I should do some side El Heroe webcomics?

Oh, and to everyone that sent in a twitpic of your SPKO 2 copies, I mailed out all the Crown Jr. prints last Friday so check out for them in the mail!
