Bruce Banner
Few characters carry the weight of Bruce Banner quite like this one — the tormented scientist at the heart of one of Marvel's most enduring dualities, brought to Brazilian readers through Editora Abril's Silver Age debut in Super X #12 back in 1968, with Stan Lee and Gil Kane shepherding him onto the page. Over a remarkable 56-year span in the catalog, Banner has kept extraordinary company — sharing adventures with the likes of Homem-Aranha, Capitão América, Homem de Ferro, Demolidor, and Peter Parker across beloved Abril titles like Superaventuras Marvel and O Espectacular Homem-Aranha. With 68 appearances and two collector-recognized key issues to his name, this is a run that speaks to just how deeply Banner resonated with generations of Brazilian comics fans. Whether you're a longtime colecionador or just discovering the rich history of Marvel in Brazil, his presence in this catalog is absolutely worth exploring.
