Azteca Productions is an American independent comic book publisher and imprint founded by artist-creator Richard Dominguez in 1993.

Publications went on hiatus during the rise and fall of the speculative market in the late '90s until Dominguez returned in 2004.

History

Azteca Productions' first publication was "El Gato Negro #1" (October, 1993) featuring the first appearance of the character of the same name. The series was critically acclaimed, allowing Dominguez to pursue a four-part story arc. The publication of El Gato Negro was later followed with the superhero group "Team Tejas" in 1997. Shortly after, all publications came to a halt during the late '90s, in which several independent publishers went out of business. Dominguez would later return in 2004 with a new El Gato Negro series with writer Michael S. Moore and artist Efren Molina. The company currently has several different titles in development including a revival of Judge Margarito Garza's "Relampago!"
