"Someone like Jean-Luc Godard is for me intellectual counterfeit money when compared to a good kung fu film."
May 12, 2003

I've been scouring the internet, and invaded warm and sweet-smelling newsstands in Tamaulipas, Mexico, asked people whom I thought were in the know, looking for any information about the radio host and comic book character El Monje Loco. A sort of Crypt Keeper from south of the border, "The Mad Monk" was a mainstay of Mexican comic books from the 'fifties until the 'seventies. I first read about him in the Headpress zine from the UK, although, unfortunately, an online version is not available. Any info coming my way would be greatly appreciated.
