About this Item
[Latino][Mexico][Pulp] El Coyote, written by José Mallorquí and published by Cliper. Large archive of 12 issues bound in three volumes, one signed and inscribed by the author on title page. Spanish-language. Barcelona: Cliper, 1946-1948. First editions. This archive, comprising 12 issues of El Coyote, showcases one of the most influential Spanish-language Western sagas of the 20th century. El Coyote follows the masked vigilante César de Echagüe, a Californio landowner who dons the persona of "El Coyote" to defend justice in 19th-century Alta California. Drawing from the traditions of Zorro and the American Western while asserting a distinct Latinx identity, the series offered Spanish-speaking readers an icon of national pride, resistance, and hybrid cultural belonging. The character s dual identity as both an elite and an outlaw explores tensions of colonization and class; a variation of Robin Hood, resonating deeply in post-revolutionary Mexico and among diasporic Latin American readers. Archive includes publications from both Mexico and Spain, reflecting the series widespread popularity across the Spanish-speaking world. Archive includes: [1] No. 51 La Firma del Coyote. 1947.
