Tex Platinum

A satirical superhero saga from Brazil's Mythos Editora, Tex Platinum ran for 36 issues from 2016 to 2021, skewering the tropes of classic American comics through its hyper-competent, absurdly wealthy title character. The series is most associated with its creator and primary writer, who used the book's extended run to build a sprawling, self-aware universe of celebrity superheroes and corporate villainy. Its significance lies in its sharp, affectionate parody of the genre, proving that a long-form Brazilian original could sustain a coherent, humorous deconstruction of superhero mythology.
