•  Luna Córnea: Lucha Libre edition

  
  Huracan Ramirez vs Elephant

  Our Luna Córnea 27 book arrived today (via eBay) and there are some trully magnificent photos in this chunky, glossy 325-page volume. It’s 98% Spanish but that doesn’t matter. The images are priceless. There’s a poignant photo of the late Blue Demon in his casket, Los Villanos with mum and dad, arty b/w shots of exoticos, luchadoras, midgets, close-up ring action and more. (bad scan quality, sorry)

  
  Los Villanos with Mama

  If anyone is interested in buying a copy of the book, the publisher is the Centro de la Imagen, Mexico and their email address is ventas_ci@correo.conaculta.gob.mx

  By the way, we just learnt that ¡Mucha Lucha! has premiered on free-to-air TV in Mexico. It’s showing on Thursdays - Televisa Channel 5 (thanks, Oscar!)
