I'd be mildly surprised if Indicator planned to release "literally hundreds"!
The three in March have specific points of interest - female wrestlers in
The Panther Women, possibly
the definitive Mexican female superhero in
The Batwoman, and the bizarre but fascinating contrast between the conventional family-friendly cut of
Santo vs The Riders of Terror and the once-thought-lost softcore sex-film recut
Lepers and Sex, which sheds fascinating light on commercial Mexican marketing techniques of the time.
And the next batch of Mexican titles will consist of ones of similar historical/cultural interest, because a major impetus for this project is the ability to dig deep into the historical/cultural context - those 80-page books are an absolute mine of information. (I have a proof of the one for
The Batwoman open on my desktop right now.)
