The Savage Dragon

In the late 1990s, Brazilian publisher Editora Abril brought Erik Larsen's creator-owned superhero series to Portuguese-speaking readers with The Savage Dragon (1996–1998), a 16-issue run that translated the chaotic, action-packed adventures of the green-skinned Chicago police officer. Anchored by Larsen's distinctive, bombastic art and offbeat humor, this edition made the cult-favorite Image Comics title accessible to a new audience, showcasing the series' blend of police procedural and over-the-top superheroics. It stands as a notable example of international comics licensing during the boom of creator-owned 1990s superhero comics.
