Bi-national creative effort Aztec of the City is a comic book series that chronicles the lives of two Mexican-American cousins in San Jose, Calif. who become superheroes. Widely known as America's first, and one of the only, Chicano/Latino superhero comic book series, it was developed by creator Fernando B. Rodriguez, and later illustrated by Ernie Polo. The cousin protagonists, Tony Torres and Tony Avalos, come from two very different strides of life, but narrow to a single path because of a desire to do good.
