The most mysterious series of Lucha Libre is for sure the Tikities. Fabien M, the artist is a very secretive person who usually doesn't want to show anything until he's completely satisfied. But we got the pleasure to get his proposal for the cover of issue #3 of Lucha Libre. Here it is.

One of the gangs featured in the LUCHADORES FIVE series is a bunch of wannabe frenchmen who called themselves Les Formidables. To create their look, we took our inspiration from french pop culture icons like Fantomas, Les Freres Jacques or Arsene Lupin. Here's some research by Bill and an image for the mag.Here zey are... diz is ze formidables.

If you've never heard about these guys, here's a picture of the "world famous" Freres Jacques, the main inspiration behind Les Formidables. It was a "vocal quartet" in France, they began their career in 1944 and made their final appearance in 1982! Crazy, uh? And you haven't heard them...

An unbelievable website for movie and typeface lovers, Steven Hill's Movies Title Screen Page. Hundreds of movie title screens. Check it out: http://www.shillpages.com/movies/index2.shtml

Another big source of inspiration: religious crap. I love them. I took these pictures on Brodway in Downtown L.A. If I remember well, the Botanica store is on the first floor of the famous Bradbury Building. That's where Ridley Scott filmed a part of Blade Runner. I've never been inside, I heard it's incredible.

Here's a sneak peak at the first chapter of TEQUILA. This is page 11, my favorite Gobi's page... until I see the next one. The first chapter will be published in LUCHA LIBRE #2, in November. In the first panel, you can see a young El Panda, and some pretty cool rednecks in the last one.
