Who is this?
 

While in Mexico recently I noticed a few locals wearing shirts with this guys face on it. Additionally I noticed tourist Gringos wearing those cheesie temporay tattoos of this guys face. Can anyone ID who it is?

I'm not 100% certain who it is so this is more of a question I have, than a quiz for you.

The famous and newly popular image of one each Ernesto "Che" Guevara de la Serna.

Thats who I thought it was.

Thank you Reaper.

Anyone know why this guys image is becoming popular?

Again a question I have, not a quiz

Kids. Rebellion against authority. Searching for heroes. Handsome young man of means who died before ruining the myth. The photo and image is famous.

Good story, plausible explanation.

SF was there when he was killed, BTW.

NDD's making a killing off of those shirt :D

The People's Revolutionary!

Viva Che!

Boy, NDD must be really busy . . .

I was thinking the same thing, but I got him covered, regardless.

I've googled my butt off but can not find a duplicate of the following picture. At first glance I thought this picture was Che. He bears a close resemblance to him but the eyepatch is throwing me off. I can not find a picture with him having one. Is this a "rigged" pic or is my google weak and it's someone else?

Fake!!

That's from a guys web site. It's his picture with the eyepatch and beret. I'm looking through book marks to find it.

THE poster child of the ever romanticized People's Revolution. A brand unto himself...Thanks to his early death...Hey, look what it did for James Dean, Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix.
I often wonder how Che would be viewed today if he had not gotten the firing squad. Given the track record of his amigo Fidel I'd chance to guess that Che would not be lauded as quite the "hero" that he has been from grave.

The REAL Che
 

The truth comes out!

No wonder 8th Grp. pulled him out of the jungle... he sparkled.

Isn't this one of your boys, NDD? :D
