Rio Kid

Status: OnGoing

One of the most passionate, pulpy private eye comics to hit North American shores in years was THE RIO KID, a European import translated and published in English in 1991 by American comic publisher Eternity. Set in Rio de Janero, and full of nasty, brutal violence (eye-gouging is quite prevalent), lush tropical scenery, and a rampant, open sensuality that pervades the entire series, it's like nothing else in North America. The Rio Kid is a transplanted American, living in Rio, scraping up just enough work.
