Quadrinhos de aventuras no Brasil e na Argentina: quando o extraordinário se torna cotidiano.

The history of comics is a key element of media history and a relevant research object that allows understanding the cultures of our region. Their publishing industries, audiences and their markets allow recognizing the cultural, social and political contexts of certain historical periods and imply, therefore, helpful methodological tools and relevant historical documents for the analysis of our complex societies. As an example, the adventure genre is central to the comic publishing industry at a regional level. This text therefore seeks to understand characteristics of this media product, particularly with regard to comics made in Brazil and Argentina, from a qualitative descriptive research and document analysis.
