About the series

A short-lived but potent entry in Brazilian comics history, Punhos de Aço (Fists of Steel) ran for just five issues from 1977 to 1978 with Editora Bloch. The series centered on a martial artist hero, channeling the global kung fu craze of the era into a distinctly national adventure comic. While its run was brief, it remains a curious artifact of the Brazilian publishing scene's willingness to tap into popular genre trends.
