Massive thanks to macbee and Nuno Mata for helping me to acquire both originals and scans of many Brazilian MOTU & POP comics. Portuguese-to-English Translation: Penny Dreadful Page Restorations and Transposition of English Text into Word Balloons: Grimbot She'd make for an awesome Classics figure, and there has indeed been some demand for the character to be released in MOTUC. Shezar is the most popular of the bunch, and has gained a following outside of Brazil in more recent years. The Editora Abril stories from Brazil were known for introducing some unique and interesting characters to the mix. When fans complained in correspondence to the comic letters column, Editora Abril totally changed gears and started releasing issues featuring reprints from the UK comics, Star Marvel comics, and most notably, brand NEW original stories, several of which featured artwork by the amazing Watson Portela.

The first several issues of the comic series featured rather subpar adaptations of Filmation episodes. Some other characters that were important in this era (without having their own comic) were Maggy, Franklin, Blu, Angel and Thunder.Ībril is considered by many of the fans (mainly the oldest ones) as the publisher that had the best era of Monica's Gang at all, mainly because the stories published in Abril tend to be considered the most classic and memorable of the franchise.A lot of fans have been asking for this one, and here it is! This is an English translation of the Brazilian Portuguese-language Masters of the Universe Story, 'The Submarine Mystery', featuring a cult-favorite villain/anti-hero among MOTU fans in Brazil - the aquatic invader, Shezar! This story was released in 1987 and comes from issue 17 of the Editora Abril comics from Brazil. This publisher, different from the later ones, had rare introductions of new characters, usually focusing more on the original characters previously created by Mauricio de Sousa in the newspaper strips, like Monica, Jimmy Five, Smudge and Chuck Billy (these last two gaining more prominence in the 80s). In addition to Monica's Gang, Abril also became known for publishing in Brazil several popular American comics like Disney (being the publisher's flagship), Marvel Comics, DC Comics, and Little Lulu (considered Monica's Gang's main rival in the sales). Abril was responsible for the title debuts: Mônica (1970), Cebolinha (1973), Pelezinho (1977), Cascão (1982) and Chico Bento (1982), all of these titles (with the exception of Pelezinho which was canceled in 1982) remained in publication until the end of the partnership with Mauricio de Sousa with Abril in 1986 and were continued by Editora Globo the following year. The publisher is known for being the first publisher to publish the Monica's Gang comics, having started in May 1970 until December 1986, totaling 16 years of publication. The company was founded in 1950 by Victor Civita in São Paulo and is now part of Grupo Abril. Editora Abril is a major Brazilian publisher and printing company and one of the biggest media holdings in Latin America.
