O legado do colecionismo de quadrinhos no Brasil é uma jornada fascinante que transcende o simples acúmulo de exemplares. Este livro mergulha na metamorfose do gibi, desde as raízes pioneiras com Angelo Agostini e O Tico-Tico ate a proliferaço de generos como faroeste, super-herois da Marvel e DC, os classicos infantis da Disney e da Turma da Monica. A Nona Arte consolidou-se no apenas como entretenimento, mas como uma expresso cultural rica, fruto da intrinseca colaboraço entre roteiristas, desenhistas, coloristas, letristas, capistas, editores e revisores graficos. O colecionismo de quadrinhos e, em sua essencia, um ato de preservaço. E a dedicaço em conservar esses santuarios de papel que, muitas vezes, representam no apenas um valor financeiro, mas um patrimonio cultural e pessoal inestimavel. Para o colecionador, a revista em quadrinhos e mais do que papel e tinta; e um portal para a imaginaço, um elo com o passado e um convite para o futuro. Este livro e uma homenagem a essa dedicaço, um reconhecimento da riqueza cultural e da inventividade que o colecionismo de quadrinhos reflete no Brasil. A paixo do gibizeiro por aquela ediço rara e a mesma que garante a perpetuaço dessas narrativas visuais por muitas geraçes vindouras.
