Patrícia

Patrícia, published by Editora Abril from 1987 to 1989, was a Brazilian comic series that centered on the adventures of a young, modern woman navigating life, love, and work. Running for 34 issues, the title is notable for being one of the few mainstream Brazilian comics of the era with a female protagonist and a focus on slice-of-life stories aimed at a young adult audience. The series is particularly associated with writer and artist Júlio Shimamoto, whose detailed, expressive style brought warmth and depth to Patrícia's everyday experiences. It remains a fondly remembered example of late-80s Brazilian comics, offering a grounded, character-driven counterpoint to the superhero and fantasy titles dominating the stands.
