About the series

Chico Bento, a beloved slice-of-life series from Editora Abril, ran for 114 issues between 1982 and 1986, chronicling the gentle, humorous adventures of its namesake—a cheerful, straw-hat-wearing country boy. Associated most closely with creator Mauricio de Sousa, the series captured the rhythms of rural Brazilian life with warmth and lighthearted mischief, offering a nostalgic counterpoint to urban-centric comics of the era. Its enduring charm lies in how it made the simple joys of the countryside feel universal.
