While the bulk of The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling focuses on The One True Sport in the United States of America, we take a three chapter detour to explore wrestling in other countries. And the first stop? Mexico, to discuss and explore lucha libre!

Check out preview pages from the chapter at Newsarama, featuring El Santo, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and a page about wrestling in Puerto Rico, and then check out this interview with myself and my co-creator Chris Moreno discussing our background and connection to wrestling, our approach to documenting its history and more.

The Comic Book Story of Professional Wrestling is by Chris Moreno and myself, with colors by Len O’Grady, Brad Simpson, Allen Passalaqua & Jay Moreno, and letters by Rus Wooton. It will be available everywhere on October 2, but you can and should pre-order the book on Amazon or via your favorite local bookstore. Comic book shops will be able to order it too starting with the July Diamond catalog!
