Latino super-hero emerges to fight east L.A. crime via passionate comic book.

Hispanic Times Magazine | May 1, 1996 | Copyright

In comic book land, there were never any Hispanic heroes. Comic book companies said they didn't want to deal with ethnic heroes; they said the thinking is that most of the reading public is white.

But that was then!

Enter the Latino superhero -- "The Lost Angel" -- who puts bad guys behind bars and the kids he rescues from gangs back with their families.

This new comic book concept, named "Justicia" and conceived by creator George O. DeLorenzo, is now on bookstands, and is expected to shake up the status of ethnic characters in comic book land.
