Paulo Scorcese

A creature of the Copper Age's darker storytelling ambitions, Paulo Scorcese stepped onto the page in 1987 through the Brazilian publisher Editora Abril, born in a debut issue bearing the creative fingerprints of Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli — as distinguished a pedigree as the era had to offer. His catalog footprint is modest but intriguing, spread across Superaventuras Marvel and Marvel Série II over a remarkable 25-year span, and the company he keeps is anything but small-time — his pages are shared with the likes of Matt Murdock, Wilson Fisk, and Ben Urich, placing him squarely in the shadowy, morally complex world those names evoke. For collectors with a passion for Brazilian Marvel publishing history and the rich Copper Age material Editora Abril brought to readers, Paulo Scorcese is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through a long box so rewarding.
