About the series
Chilean publisher Zig-Zag launched Ruta 44 in 1966, a long-running comic series that ultimately spanned 36 issues. While the series is most famously associated with the work of artist and writer Themo Lobos, it featured a rotating cast of creators across its decades of publication. Ruta 44 remains a significant touchstone in Chilean comics, representing a sustained, homegrown adventure strip that resonated with generations of readers.
