Selecções Marvel nº3 comic book

This specific edition, Selecções Marvel nº3, is a vintage Portuguese comic book collection published by Editorial Abril in Portugal. While the Marvel characters and stories were originally created in the United States by Marvel Comics (founded as Timely Publications), they were licensed for international distribution in various languages.

Starting in the late 1970s and 80s, Editorial Abril was responsible for bringing these iconic superhero stories to the Portuguese market. The brand 'Marvel' itself has undergone significant ownership changes. Originally an independent company, Marvel Entertainment was acquired by The Walt Disney Company in 2009. Disney continues to be the ultimate global owner of Marvel's intellectual property, overseeing its comic book publishing, cinematic universe, and merchandising from its headquarters in Burbank, California.
