ISSUE FOUR INCLUDES AN ORIGINAL COVER, A COMIC, A CARTOON, AND A MUSIC RECOMMENDATION OF ROCK EN TU IDIOMA BANDS. AS ALWAYS, IT ALSO FEATURES A WORM WITH TEETH COMIC.

THE THEME FOR THIS ISSUE WAS "ROCK EN TU IDIOMA," THE HISPANIC POPULAR ROCK MOVEMENT OF THE 80s.

IT IS THE FIRST LODO ZINE TO BE COMPLETELY IN SPANISH.

ISSUE 4 COVER

FRONT COVER OF ISSUE 4.

ORIGINAL COVER BY RENEE ROLDAN.

THIS COVER WAS BASED ON THE CD CASE FOR "ROCK EN TU IDIOMA DIEZ AÑOS VOL 2", A COMPILATION CD OF ROCK EN TU IDIOMA SONGS RELEASED 1997, SOMETHING I TOOK FROM MY PARENT'S CD COLLECTION AS A KID. IT NOW SITS ON MY BOOKSHELF IN MY CD COLLECTION.

LODO EN TU IDIOMA

INTRODUCTION TO THE ROCK EN TU IDIOMA THEME

A SMALL BLURB ABOUT THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THIS ZINE, AS WELL AS SEVERAL HISPANIC ROCK BANDS THAT MADE MUSIC IN THE ROCK EN TU IDIOMA ERA.

WORM WITH TEETH #4 (GUSANO DIENTON)

CARTOON BY RENEE ROLDAN.

IN THIS COMIC, WORM WITH TEETH REVEALS THAT ALL WORMS ARE BILINGUAL..

YOU CAN FIND THIS, AND ALL OTHER WORM WITH TEETH COMICS, IN THE WORM WITH TEETH ARCHIVE.

ABUELITOS MEXICANOS

COMIC BY RENEE ROLDAN

HAVING BEEN THE ONLY SPANISH-SPEAKING EMPLOYEE IN THE COMIC BOOK STORE WHERE I WORKED, I WAS TASKED TO HELP ALL THE MEXICAN GRANDPARENTS WHO DON'T SPEAK ENGLISH. HERE'S A FEW SILLY ANECDOTES.

LOBO HOMBRE EN PARIS

CARTOON BY RENEE ROLDAN

A WOLF MAN ROAMS THE STREETS OF PARIS AT NIGHT, BASED ON LYRICS FROM THE SONG "LODO-HOMBRE EN PARIS" BY LA UNIÓN, A BAND POPULAR IN THE ROCK EN TU IDIOMA ERA.

THE SONG DESCRIBES SOMEONE TURNING INTO A WOLF-MAN ONE NIGHT IN PARIS. THE WOLF MAN'S NAME IS DENISE, BUT THE NAME DENISE ONLY EXISTS IN AS A FEMININE NAME IN SPANISH. BASED ON THIS, I SEE A TRANSGENDER ALLEGORY IN THE SONG - DENISE IS TRANS MAN WHO IS FREE TO BE HIMSELF IN THE PARISIAN NIGHTLIFE. THE SONG'S FIRST CHORUS STATES "LA LUNA LLENA SOBRE PARIS A TRANSFORMADO EN HOMBRE A DENISE." --- "THE FULL MOON OVER PARIS HAS TRANSFORMED DENISE INTO A MAN." NOT A WOLF-MAN, JUST A MAN.

THUS, THE WOLF IN THE CARTOON IS MADE UP OF A SHAPE MIMICING TOP SURGERY SCARS, SOMETIMES USED AS A SYMBOL OF TRANS MASCULINE PEOPLE.

ISSUE 4 CREDITS

ARTIST CREDITS FOR WORKS FEATURED IN THIS ISSUE.

THIS ISSUE ALSO GIVES A SHOUTOUT TO THE RECORD LABEL BMG ARIOLA, WHO STRATEGIZED AND POPULARIZED THE ROCK EN TU IDIOMA MOVEMENT.

PRETTY SELF EXPLANATORY. HAVE YOU CREDITED AN ARTIST TODAY?
