I thought this tweet was an exaggeration, an Onion-style parody with quick Photoshop? But they're real?:Seriously I cannot get over how pathetically uncreative these covers are when it comes to visually representing Hispanic heritage pic.twitter.com/HbGTLEDPfL

Here's a partial explanation for the Kyle Rayner one, at least:
I did this cover for DC for the #hispanicheritagemonth Kyle Reyner having a Mexican background and being Mexican myself, it was a great honor to have the opportunity to pay tribute to my country and roots, that’s why I decided to pay homage to Jorge Gonzales Camerena pic.twitter.com/463HBs8j0U

A Mexican muralist I admire. “La Patria” is probably his most recognizable work. Due to some legal issues, this cover was not suppose to see the light of day (it’s unfinished, you’ll notice both the Mexican flag in incomplete and GL chest logo is missing)

How this image got promoted by DC is a mystery to me, don’t know if it was a mistake or in the end they decided to go for it. There is a variation of this cover but I’m so glad this one is out there for the world to see since this was my original idea, pay homage to Camarena.
