About the series
A brief but culturally significant Brazilian independent comic, Chico de Ogum ran for just two issues in 1973 from Minami & Cunha Editores. The series is notable for its early, respectful integration of Afro-Brazilian religious themes into sequential art, centering on a character connected to the orixá Ogum. While its publication was short, its pioneering approach to representing Candomblé and Black Brazilian identity in the 1970s has given it an enduring legacy.
