O Menino Maluquinho

In the mid-1990s, Editora Abril brought Ziraldo’s beloved Brazilian children’s character to comics with O Menino Maluquinho (1994–1996). Over 18 issues, the series captured the playful, imaginative world of the mischievous boy with a saucepan on his head, expanding his adventures beyond the original book. Ziraldo’s signature warm, whimsical art and storytelling defined the series, making it a cherished adaptation that introduced a new generation to one of Brazil’s most iconic literary figures.
