You wouldn't happen to know where I can watch or buy the episodes would you?(I've checked YouTube, Comcast on demand, amazon,and Hulu. I didn't dig much around the shopping bit though... Any suggestions you may have, preferably one that doesn't require credit card registration, tricky business that... I checked Hulu with my free trial, not even full episodes of the original A-Team series with George Peppard, Dirk Benedict, Mr. T, and Dwight Shults all in the flesh, not even that was on Hulu...)

If this collection is well-received, I hope to present collections of each of the following years both in the original Spanish and in English.<br />The adventures of Los Campeadores Boricuas are wide and varied. Over the years, they have dealt with issues both light and serious. Some of the story lines were eerily visionary and pre-date themes found in successful movies such as “Avatar” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” years after the strips were published. Among them:<br />• Adventures in space with " Puk " and The Placeritos. The Placeritos are extraterrestrial visitors born on a living planet with the name, "pleasure".They are peaceful vegans living in harmony with nature. The planet reshapes itself provides for the needs of its inhabitants. Trees grow to create cottages interlaced with vines which provide food and nectar. Even the mountains reshape themselves to create various monuments to honor exceptional acts of kindness. Transportation is provided by Los Zepheros, (a sort of cross between Earth’s sea rays and onions). In their role as vehicles, they only travel by voluntary agreement. The Placeritos maintain a submarine base of operations on Earth in the deep trench off the northwest coast of Puerto Rico.<br />• Time travel is at the center of two stories in the series. In one, our hero encounters his ancestor who is trying to protect native Taino tribes in their fight against vicious Caribe cannibals. In the other story, Paladín is mistaken for his ancestor as the captain of a ship of cursed phantasms.<br />• The dangers of the arms race is offered in "Un Arma Mas Grande (a bigger gun)" in which fanatical terrorists end up detonating a nuclear bomb on the island. In another story, a Middle East dictator gains control of weapons systems worldwide through cyber-piracy.<br />• The problems of waste and pollution are also presented. In "The Trash Fairy " a tiny sprite teaches the values of recycling and eliminating litter. The dangers of industrial pollution is the subject of another story. And in "To Save a flower" we learn that deforestation and extinction of a single species can destroy valuable medicinal plants needed for future medical cures.<br />• Healthy eating, obesity and food addiction are explored in a story about "Megusta" – a highly addictive food additive that makes anyone who eats it addicted to food while becoming lazy and obese.<br />• The issues of mental health and caring for our veterans are at the core of the stories, “El Diablo Por Dentro” and “El Vago Vigilante.”<br />There have been many other stories that include monsters from outer space and under the sea, witches, sharks, runaway robots, an island inhabited by talking dinosaurs, the unexpected effects of genetic engineering, ecology, the plight of the disabled, and a totally different twist on chupacabras... just to name a few.<br />With your interest and some good fortune, I hope to be able to share the whole series once again.<br /><br />Thank you again for the blessing you have given by reading the stoty. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082584260475050911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048784759322416340.post-23397574631785653282016-03-03T17:30:25.669-08:002016-03-03T17:30:25.669-08:00More:

We did not have much money, so I didn’t get a post office box. Within an hour of the newspaper hitting the streets, I was awakened to a group of children outside calling for the superhero to come out! Over the next years I received as many as 60 letters a day. Many were scrawled on school paper, folded and taped closed, then dropped in a mailbox without a stamp or even an address. I felt like Santa Claus! I started including the fans’ names and drawings in the strip and soon readers enjoyed searching for their names in print.<br />After the story in which Paladin led an attack against drug traffickers throughout the island, I received a letter from a little girl living in Vista Hermosa. She asked that the heroes come and expel drug traffickers in their casario. I got into my car and drove there and saw that she was right. I'm not a real superhero and armed drug traffickers were very frightening to say the least. Soon after, then Governor Rosello conducted a similar raid against crime using the police, DEA, FURA and the National Guard.* After the raid, drug pushers were eliminated for a while in Vista Hermosa. The young girl sent me another letter saying, “Thank you.” These letters and episodes of the strip were on display at the National Guard Armory for a period of time as a tribute to their contribution to the war on drugs .<br />For many years later, I received letters from young men indicating that Paladin inspired them to join the “Red Berets” – trained, unarmed guardian angels who travel in groups to protect the island.**<br />From the beginning it has been my dream that corporate sponsors would be willing to support a program in which the heroes visit schools to share a program of education, spirit and hope. I continue to invite and welcome help to make the dream come true.<br /><br />*http://www.nytimes.com/1993/07/28/us/national-guard-joins-puerto-rico-police-on-beat-as-crime-rises.html<br /><br />**http://www.puertorico-herald.org/issues/2004/vol8n09/GuardAngels.htmlAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082584260475050911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048784759322416340.post-76117782397024313532016-03-03T17:29:46.763-08:002016-03-03T17:29:46.763-08:00More:

They made sure I knew when they were serving gandinga, cuajo and revoltillo de bacalao. I was often reminded that my body may have been born in the States, but my heart was born on the Island. I not only devoured the food, but also the culture. The character of the Paladín was quickly becoming my alter ego reflecting my love of the island and all its magic, spirit and weaknesses.<br /><br />Partners, Family, Friends and Foes<br /><br />An Original... Sort of! <br />Although Paladin found his roots in the history of the island, I wanted to also bring an island touch to traditional superheroes in comics. That demanded a young partner. And so the Coqui was introduced. Oddly enough, the name never appeared in the series, except by accident. During the development of the characters, I had visited several comic shops. Although I had avoided absorbing contemporary plots and characters for many years before Paladin, in the decision to launch a new character, I did some comic culture updating. While chatting with many comic book store owners, I mentioned my intentions. Word spread in the island’s comic book community of characters like El Coqui. It was not until after submitting the first couple of episodes, I received a letter from a aficionado who had in previous years, introduced a character named Coqui. It was a humorous character, not necessarily a conflict, but the author expressed concern that the future he might be interested in re-introducing and wished to avoid confusion in the marketplace. With respect for the creativity of another, I was faced with the alteration of an episode that had already been finished and had a deadline of the next day! Once again, Uncle Victor intervened with inspiration. He introduced me to the gavilán, a falcon that nested on top of the buildings in Caribbean cities waiting to pounce on its prey. With that and a quick revision of several panels that had already been written and inked, El Coqui became overnight El Gavilan!<br /><br />A cast of characters<br />Within the first year, a growing cast of supporting characters were introduced:<br />Maria Castillo: the wife of Ramón Castillo. Although her appearance was brief, her spirit appears as a driving force throughout the series.<br />Ramon Castillo: Ramón’s young son.<br />Enrique “Rique” Torres: Maria's brother and a member of the island police force.<br />Pepe Ramírez: savvy side-kick known as "El Gavilán."<br />Pablo Ramírez: Pepe’s brother and a reformed street hustler.<br />Abuela Rosa: grandmother to Pepe and Pablo.<br />José: an old friend of the Castillo family and guardian of La Hacienda Castillo.<br />Titan: a mute giant used as a pawn by the crime syndicate of the island. Later he joined Los Campeadores as an ally.<br />“Puk” and The Placeritos: extraterrestrial visitors from the planet Placer.<br />Father Francisco: local priest who runs a homeless shelter.<br />Los Reyes: a local street gang reformed by Father Francisco.<br />Numero Uno: The ever-changing crime syndicate boss of the island. <br />Gang members: An assortment of thugs including Orejón, Caribe, Hollywood, Chino, El Negro, Calabaza, El Gordo y el Títere (to name a few).<br />J.T. De Luz: A ruthless business tycoon.<br />The Witches: Through the years, there have been many, especially for Halloween.<br />Reinita: born a small bird, La Reinita was turned into a human girl by an evil witch. Introduced in 1993, she became the fourth Campeadore.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082584260475050911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048784759322416340.post-68825162598495564962016-03-03T17:28:51.075-08:002016-03-03T17:28:51.075-08:00More:

An article in the San Juan Star carried the headline, “Puerto Rico crime wave reaches tidal proportions.” The article went on to state that “for 1991 the per capita homicide rate (if ranked among the 50 United States) was the highest in the nation” averaging 2.3 killings per day. This rate translated to 23.3 killings per 100,000 citizens. On an island with a 1990 population of 3,552,037, the murder rate exceeded that of England which with a population of 48,774,700 had a rate of 1.3 slayings per 100,000 people. Much of the violence was tied to the trafficking of drugs. “Puntos’” were plentiful.<br /><br />Nostalgia Gives Birth to Nostalgia<br />Having grown up in the wake of the Golden Age of comics, rode the crest of the Silver Age and witnessed the revival of comics in the sixties, I felt that a touch of good-old, home-grown heroism might help. So, though not speaking the language very well at that time, but with the help of my island-born wife, Paladín was born.<br />I decided that if I was to be the one to introduce an iconic figure, he would be a compilation of the comic hero culture spanning decades. The story style and artwork would reflect the naivety of early pioneers such as Lee Falk’s The Phantom–1936, Siegel and Shuster’s Superman–1938, and try to close the gap from the 1940s through 1990s. Rather than seeking a unique character with powers or costume never seen in the comics world, I sought an amalgam that echoed familiar but timeless idealism and romantic imagination.<br /><br />The Learning Process<br />Originally Paladín was to be called El Patriota until my wife’s Uncle Victor sauntered by while I was sketching and explained the political meaning of the word “Patriota” to the island. I realized I needed to dig deeper. As if in answer, my wife’s son back in Florida phoned and, as part of a school project on genealogy, asked if the family had any famous ancestors. She referred him to Titi Merce who was the family’s historian/record keeper. Through her, I learned the depth of the island’s culture intimately. I learned that my wife’s family went way back before the Mayflower and included Spanish royalty, native Tainos and even some pirates!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082584260475050911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048784759322416340.post-29870530463109505412016-03-03T17:27:56.128-08:002016-03-03T17:27:56.128-08:00If I may, I'd like to clear up some misunderst...If I may, I'd like to clear up some misunderstandings about how Paladin came into being..... I realize that it is difficult to stare into obscurity. I cherish that he is remembered by the very ones he was created for. I hope this helps.<br /><br />In 1992, on the island of Puerto Rico, an experiment took place to see if a "paper" superhero could make a real difference. For seven years every Sunday in the newspaper El Nuevo Día, Paladín el Cacique y Los Campeadores Boricuas entertained readers of all ages while trying to take the pulse of how the island of enchantment dealt with the problems of progress during a particularly trying time.<br /><br />My gratitude to José Diaz de Villega and El Nuevo DÍa for the opportunity for this labor of love for a very special people.<br /><br />Heroes aren’t born... they’re made!<br /><br />The need for a Hero<br />The creation of Paladín el Cacique did not happen overnight. The character and the cast that followed were developed over a period of time and were met with many obstacles. The original concept of an on-your-streets, in-your-town superhero started while strolling down the street with my wife’s friend, Molinelli. As we walked, his son ran ahead and lagged behind powered by the curiosity and energy of youth. At each sewer drain he would stop and peer down. I couldn’t help but ask. “Molli, what on Earth is your son doing?” “He’s looking for the Turtles,” he replied. The Teenage Ninja Turtles were all the rage for kids of his age. They fed the imagination of the island’s youth even as they anxiously awaited the first movie about Batman– a hero that lived in far away Gotham (New York City?).<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082584260475050911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048784759322416340.post-2559573772408320152016-02-29T13:16:05.634-08:002016-02-29T13:16:05.634-08:00https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZLp3UV-zMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_ZLp3UV-zMMgohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12337412035097235446noreply@blogger.com
