About the series
Arédit-Artima’s Copacabana ran for 59 issues from 1963 to 1976, a long-running French comic series largely defined by the painted covers and interiors of artist Norman Lee. Set in the glamorous yet perilous world of Rio de Janeiro’s famous beach district, the series blended adventure, romance, and crime in a sun-drenched, pulp-infused style. It stands as a notable example of the European "photo-roman" and painted-comic tradition, offering a distinctive visual flavor distinct from the more typical ligne claire or Franco-Belgian cartooning of its era.
