About the series
In 1979, Brazil's Editora Brasil-América (EBAL) launched the third series of Estréia!, a 13-issue anthology comic that served as a showcase for the legendary DC character O Monstro do Pântano (Swamp Thing). This run presented the early, pre-Alan Moore adventures of the elemental creature, offering Brazilian readers a curated selection of the monster's original horror-tinged stories from the 1970s. It stands as a key document of EBAL's role in importing and translating American superhero and horror comics for a Portuguese-speaking audience, preserving the foundational mythos of a character who would later become a comics icon.
