About the series
A curious and short-lived Brazilian sci-fi anthology from the mid-1950s, Disco Voador ("Flying Saucer") ran for nine issues under the Orbis publishing banner. The series rode the wave of post-war UFO fascination, offering a mix of speculative fiction and adventure stories. Its most distinctive visual element was its use of photographic covers rather than traditional comic art, giving the title a unique, almost pulp-magazine feel. Though brief, Disco Voador stands as a fascinating snapshot of 1950s Brazilian pop culture and its engagement with outer-space themes.
