Superaventuras Marvel #23
In "Um Reino em Alto-Mar," a fugitive man’s desperate flight ends in a deadly ambush—only to be pulled from the swamp by the Thing, who listens in silence to a tale of forbidden love and deep-seated prejudice. Written by Steve Gerber and Jotapê Martins, with bold artwork by Jim Starlin and Rich Buckler, this 1984 issue unfolds a tense, morally charged story where loyalty is tested and choices carry weight. The cover by John Bolton captures the stormy atmosphere of a tale that lingers long after the final page.
In "Um Reino em Alto-Mar," the fractured island of Damascar and Rikos stands at a dark crossroads: one half consumed by a sorcerer-king feeding on blood magic, the other clinging to hope through a desperate ritual. When a desperate emissary from Damascar seeks Kull’s aid, the mighty warrior unknowingly rides toward a fate entwined with ancient sorcery and sacrifice.
In "Víbora sem Ninho," Proteus, wielding his father's body, unleashes chaos across Edimburgo, setting up a final confrontation with the X-Men that will decide humanity's fate. With Moira MacTaggert pleading for her team to rise to the challenge, the fate of the world rests in the hands of an unexpected ally at the moment of truth.
In "Lamaçal de Paixões," a man named Jo flees from the police only to be shot and left sinking in a swamp—saved not by a hero, but by the Thing, who listens in silence as Jo recounts a painful tale of forbidden love and racial tension. As the story unfolds, the monstrous guardian must confront a moral divide: the corrupt authority that hunted Jo, or the man whose choices have shattered trust.
In "Fantasmas do Passado," Shang-Chi ventures into the dark tunnels beneath Chinatown, drawn by a legend that a subterranean monster can only be defeated by a brave man who kills it in flames. Though the neighborhood has known peace after the gangs quieted, the old tales stir again as a terrifying presence emerges from the sewers—leading Shang-Chi into a trap he doesn’t yet understand.
