Santo dos Assassinos

A Brazilian crime-noir series from Editora Abril, Santo dos Assassinos launched in 1997 and ran for four issues, weaving a dark, grounded tale of vigilante justice in São Paulo. The story follows a mysterious killer who targets criminals, operating outside the law in a city rife with corruption and violence. While short-lived, the series is notable for its gritty, cinematic storytelling and its place in the Brazilian comics landscape of the late 1990s. It remains a cult touchstone for fans of mature, locally flavored crime comics.
