Evolved from lucha libre, the family gimmick is sacred, and the mask is the sole expression of one's identity.Now, Hood prostitutes are turning-up murdered and worse, unmasked, and the 'Skin' establishment is as much help as a paid-off ref. Enter X, former luchadora with a bruised past, a bum knee and no time to play Santo. She's no hero, but there's nobody else to tag-in, as her hunt for a killer uncovers a conspiracy that could take down all of maskedkind.Like Casablanca with wrestling masks, Hoodtown is vintage pulp noir with a lucha libre pop culture twist.This expanded second print edition of the long-sold out HOODTOWN includes introductory texts by Latina filmmakers Ivy Agregan and Gigi Saul Guerrero, a 12 page \"Art of Hoodtown\" gallery featuring unused roughs and originals by illustrator Rafael Navarro, and a sample chapter of Matt Wallace's lucha libre novella RENCOR: Life in Grudge City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 264\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 16, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711009198143,"sku":"9781686695360","price":30.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/e7926466a5626b972529a0a5a5522920.webp?v=1765056977","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/hoodtown-expanded-second-edition-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
