José Carioca

Few characters carry the breezy, sun-drenched charm of José Carioca, who made his Norwegian comics debut in 1949 courtesy of the legendary Carl Barks and Helene C. Kløvstad — a Golden Age pedigree as distinguished as they come. Published under the Hjemmet / Egmont banner, he has graced the pages of Donald Duck & Co across an astonishing span stretching all the way to 2025, proof that his appeal is anything but fleeting. His adventures unfold in lively company — sharing pages with Donald Duck and the wider duck cast that generations of Scandinavian readers have grown up loving. Whether you're a devoted collector of Golden Age debuts or simply a fan of the sprawling, joyful world of the Disney ducks, José Carioca is a character whose long and colorful publishing history makes him well worth seeking out.
