Garotão [Jerry Lewis]

In the late 1960s, Brazilian publisher EBAL brought the manic energy of American comedian Jerry Lewis to Portuguese-speaking readers with Garotão (1967–1969). Spanning 23 issues, this comic series was most frequently written by Adolfo Aizen, who adapted Lewis's signature slapstick and goofy charm into a standalone comic format. A lively piece of mid-century international licensing, it stands as a curious artifact of how a Hollywood star's persona was translated for a South American audience during the peak of the Silver Age.
