Holy Avenger

Holy Avenger is a Brazilian comic book series. Arguably the most successful non-child-oriented Brazilian comic, it is set in the medieval fantasy world of Arton, part of the RPG campaign setting Tormenta. The series lasted for 42 issues (40 regular ones and a 2-issues "post-end" story), drawn with manga-inspired art. It ended only because authors wanted to give an ending to the plot, following the tradition of manga - which, unlike many U.S. comics (on which format most Brazilian comics are shaped), have a beginning, a development and an end.

The success of the series can be seen in its spinoffs, which include special issues that portray each of the main characters individually, an audio CD with professional voice actors playing the characters, an RPG book based on events in the series, an artbook with original sketches, and even a new edition, which sends the comics back to newsstands, this time with new covers and more pages per issue.
