Swami Riva

Emerging from the pages of Mundo de Aventuras in 1952, Swami Riva is a Golden Age curiosity with genuine pedigree — brought to life by the legendary Bill Finger and Al Plastino, two names whose fingerprints are all over the best comics of that era. Published by Agência Portuguesa de Revistas, this character inhabits a wonderfully eclectic corner of mid-century comics, sharing pages with the likes of Superhomem, Cisco Kid, and Mandrake. Rare and intriguing with only a handful of catalog appearances, Swami Riva is exactly the kind of hidden gem that makes digging through Golden Age international comics so rewarding.
