Ibne Arrink o Conquistador, by José Antunes (1962)
José Antunes published his first comics in the magazine O Mundo de Aventuras in the 1950s. His early work included a biography of Camões, entitled 'Trinca-Fortes.' His participation in O Mundo was many-sided, varying from historical adventure stories ('Geraldes o Sem Pavor') to biographies of three pages ('Martim de Freitas'). He was also the author of the humorous adventure series 'João Tormenta,' which was made in a style reminiscent of Milton Caniff.
