El Peso Hero: Frontera de Terror
Rio Bravo Comics is introducing two horror stories based on myths, folklore and legend from the Southwest in honor of Dia de los Muertos.
Starting with “El Peso Hero vs La Lechuza”.
In Texas' Rio Grande Valley, there's a well-known tale of a witch who transforms into an owl... La Lechuza. As the story goes, an old woman shape-shifts into a giant owl, La Lechuza, to take revenge on people who wronged her during her life. Sometimes the owl is variously depicted as black or white and sometimes with the head of the old woman. She lures her targets, often children or drunk people, out of houses by crying like a baby or by swooping down on cars late at night. In El Peso Hero vs La Lechuza , while patrolling the border wall two border patrol agents come across a distress call from a nearby border militia outpost. Only to become unwilling victims of La Lechuza’s wrath. Will they be saved by an unlikely ally?
