Rarotonga was a Mexican comic book series in the Lágrimas, Risas y Amor comics published by EDAR that appeared between the 1950s–1970's. The main character of the comic series was Rarotonga, a jungle queen of an island of the same name who occupied her days dancing and romancing travelers. Within the publication were tears, laughter and love, and dedicated to mostly romantic themed storylines.
In 1978 a Mexican film of the same name directed by Raúl Ramírez was made using material from the comic.[1] In 1992, the Mexican band Café Tacuba wrote a song called Rarotonga also about the comic.
