Mundo de Aventuras was the most important and longest-running Portuguese comic book magazine, published weekly every Thursday between August 18, 1949, and January 15, 1987, for a total of 1841 issues. Owned by the company Aguiar & Dias, distributor of the Agência Portuguesa de Revistas, its first director was Mário de Aguiar. At its launch, it competed with heavyweight rivals such as O Diabrete and O Mosquito , and later with Cavaleiro Andante , eventually dominating the market in the 1960s. The second series, in a larger format, spanned issues 45 to 462 (1950-1957), primarily publishing American comics and introducing its readers to new characters whose stories were published as strips in daily newspapers. The American series were systematically adapted into Portuguese: ”Rip Kirby” became ”Ruben Quirino, ” ”Flash Gordon” became ”Capitão Relâmpago, ” ”Johnny Hazard” became ”João Tempestade, ” ”Prince Valiant” became ”Príncipe Valente, ” among many other examples. This collection comprises 104 issues from the second series, with a gap between issues no. 99 and no. 124 (July to December 1951). An unusual set. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
