AB In 1972, the North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) published a comic by the Mexican comic artist Rius: “NACLA Presents Rius: The Chicanos”. This was an English-language version of “Los Chicanos”, which Rius had released in his Los Agachados series in 1971. In US Latino cultural and comic history “The Chicanos” is an overlooked artefact: it is the first comic book-length treatment of Chicanos and the diverse drives of the Chicano Movement. In this essay I assess “The Chicanos” as a key example of transborder information exchange about a US population with direct links to Mexico. “The Chicanos”, I suggest, survives as a cultural artefact—which comes to the discussion with inevitable historical biases and oversights—that illustrates how important historical memory is in a USA in which prevail ephemeral media soundbites and claims of “fake news.”
