O Vampiro

In the late 1960s, Brazilian publisher Jotaesse unleashed O Vampiro, a twenty-issue horror comic that tapped into the era’s gothic fascination with the undead. The series, known for its moody black-and-white artwork and macabre tales, helped define the publisher’s reputation for mature, suspense-driven storytelling in the Brazilian market. Though specific creators are not widely credited, the title stands as a cult landmark of Latin American horror comics, offering a uniquely local take on the vampire mythos.
