Almanaque do Pica-Pau

From 1979 to 1987, Editora Abril brought Woody Woodpecker to Brazilian readers in Almanaque do Pica-Pau, a 17-issue comic series that collected classic cartoon antics in a vibrant, all-ages almanac format. Featuring the manic energy of Walter Lantz’s iconic bird alongside a rotating cast of familiar characters, the series became a staple of Brazilian newsstands during its run. Its enduring appeal lies in its faithful, locally-produced translations and lively artwork, which introduced a generation of Portuguese-speaking fans to the timeless slapstick of the Woody Woodpecker universe.
