DEAD IN DESEMBOQUE GN
by Arellano, Schaff, Schuler & Thibodeau
Novelist and musician Robert Arellano (writing here as Eddy Arellano), inspired
by south-of-the-border comic books has created his own, English-language
"Mexican" comic, Dead in Desemboque. When a dama named Juanita calls him down to
Sonora, he rides across the Rio Bravo and never looks back. He expected to come
up against brawls, rustlers of his dogs, and even the sadistic Amazon, but on
his first day in Mexico, with the cacti in flower and the snakes far away in
their summer bowers, nobody could convince Eddy that, at the end of many dusty
roads full of adversaries and perils, he would end up dead in Desemboque! (C:

wreath, and bring it back for the promised dinner. Can they save
