Chiclete com Banana

From 1985 to 1991, Circo Editorial published Chiclete com Banana, a 26-issue comic series that became a landmark of Brazilian underground comix. Driven primarily by the singular, transgressive vision of writer-artist Marcatti, the series captured the raw, chaotic energy of São Paulo's punk and post-punk scene. Its importance lies in how it blended surreal, often scatological humor with biting social and political satire, pushing the boundaries of what Brazilian comics could say and show. A defiant, messy, and essential artifact of its era, it remains a touchstone for independent comics in Brazil.
