Besides wearing a silver mask, he also wore a long silver cape that completed his signature look.Įl Santo became a cultural phenomenon after his 1951 weekly comic series and more than 50 films that helped found the Lucha Libre horror genre that dominated the 1950s and 1960s. El Santo was derived from a character in the book who was imprisoned and forced to wear a black velvet cloth mask. It wasn’t until Guzman read Alexandre Dumas’ novel The Man in the Iron Mask that he came up with his famous stage name. The third character name was the charm and launched a massively successful career. To coincide with the rise of masked wrestling taking over the sport in 1934, Guzman began sporting a mask and called his reinvented character El Murcielago II “The Bat.” That lasted briefly, as the original Bat took exception to the use of his name.
If you weren’t my friend, you were my foe. Thriving on control and power was the only way I knew how to live. I played God while I was rotting in a fiery inferno. With so much blood on my hands, I was surprised I could still see my own skin. I didn’t know darkness and evil lurked inside me until I had to murder in order to survive. In typical Robinson fashion, El Santo is gripping, deliciously dark and will consume readers with its fast-paced storyline and forbidden romance, making them frantic with anticipation. Robinson, a coming of age, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels.
