Overview
Lucha Comics is a Canadian publisher of comics and graphic novels in Canada, with over 20 titles in its current library, covering multiple genres and age groups. Lucha Comics' titles have been translated into many different languages, including Spanish, Russian and Portuguese. Lucha Comics was founded in 2013 by Rodolfo Martinez, a long-time comic book fan and entrepreneur. Lucha launched its imprint in 2013 with Boom: Ugly Old Douchebag, a South Korean publication which was licensed from Blue Wolf Studios for its inaugural English-language version. More South Korean titles followed, including Stay and A Little Story.

Lucha Comics continued to publish creator owned content from global talent, and launched its first full-length graphic novel, The Kursk by Sasha Janowicz and James A. Bretney. As its first printed graphic novel, the successful kickstarter campaign was featured in Bleeding Cool. From there, Lucha continued to add titles, such as Reality and the Aski: The Mayan Warrior series, based on the independent Lucha Libre star in stories reminiscent of classic Lucha Libre films.
