Mexico, D.F.:: Editorial Excelsior,, 1950-1952.. Staplebound. Very Good. Assortment of a Mexican weekly magazine filled with jokes, comics and humorous illustrations. Self-proclaimed "synthesis of international humor," Ja-Ja stands out among other weekly funnies for being a major publisher of Alberto Huici and for having launched the career of the ever-prolific Eduardo del Rio, AKA Rius. Huici attempted to break into the US market and travelled to Los Angeles and New York only to encounter rejection after rejection. His fortune changed upon returning to Mexico and, by 1953, he is a regular contributor to Ja-Ja and has since been regarded as one of the most important Mexican cartoonists not only for his creative output but for numerous professional contributions as well. Around the same time, del Rio was solicited to contribute jokes by Ja-Ja's publisher, Francisco Patiño, after an encounter in a funeral parlor where del Rio worked. As del Rio recounts in an interview, a week later he was creating crude drawings and pithy comics that were being pulished weekly. Rius was born. This story is reflected in the illustration on the rear cover of issue 287 which features two men in a casket showcase gallery called "Gayosso" which was the name of the real funerary where del Rio worked. Covers feature full color pin-up style illustrations. Many of the cartoons published are captioned line drawings that comment on social etiquette, married life and other, sometimes absurd, situations. A rare item, with no issues in OCLC or elsewhere in the trade (June, 2019)
