Luisinho Pato

Luisinho Pato is the Brazilian Portuguese name for Louie Duck, one of Donald Duck's three identical nephews. Mischievous and quick-witted, Louie and his brothers Huey and Dewey frequently get into adventures with their uncle Donald and grand-uncle Scrooge McDuck.

Luisinho Pato made his debut in the very first issue of O Pato Donald in 1950 — a Golden Age entrance if ever there was one — launched under the legendary hand of Carl Barks himself. Published by Editora Abril, this Brazilian comics figure kept lively company across more than five decades, sharing pages with the likes of Pato Donald, Huguinho Pato, Zezinho Pato, and the inimitable Tio Patinhas. His appearances span a remarkable stretch from 1950 to 2003, turning up in titles as varied as Superaventuras Marvel, O Pato Donald, and the celebratory Zé Carioca 60 Anos. A modest but enduring presence in Brazilian comics history, Luisinho Pato is a genuine piece of the Golden Age tapestry that collectors of Editora Abril's rich legacy will want to track down.
