The Amigoman - The Latin Avenger comic book centers around the Latino super hero character (AKA - Antonio Alvarado) who after being steered away from the gang life at an early age by his grandfather (Gramps) and shown the way to a better like is by having a purpose in life, staying out of trouble and finishing school, comes home during his first year at law school to find his grandfather brutally mugged and killed. He then plans to bring the killers to justice and then continue his law studies. But in order to find the killers he does so behind the mask of the AMIGOMAN.
About the Books:
Originally Oropeza and Strong Ave. Studios intended to publish comic books that geared toward ages 16 and up but noticed that many schools that called for public appearances were elementary schools from 1st to 8th grade. So Oropeza decided to create an Amigo-Reading Rating System to inform the readers, parents, teachers and librarians of the age appropriateness and level of reader difficulty.
Currently Strong Ave. Studios is finishing its 1st kids book (Beginning Reading Level) titled, "Hola, Soy Amigoman / Hello, I am Amigoman". It's a bilingual, 16 page, color cover with black and white inside pages that double as coloring pages. It's a reading/learning and coloring book all in one.
