João das Fábulas

A short-lived but warmly remembered Brazilian series from Panini, João das Fábulas (2011–2012) reimagines classic fairy-tale characters in a modern, urban setting. Over four issues, the story follows its title character as he navigates a world where folklore and reality collide, blending whimsy with a touch of melancholy. The series stands out for its clever, introspective take on familiar stories, offering a distinctly Brazilian perspective on the fable genre. Its concise run has left a lasting impression on readers who appreciate thoughtful, character-driven fantasy.
