Radius turns 30 and collects its first story arc in A Saga Completa
Created in Marília in 1996 and first published as a comic in 2022, Radius celebrates 30 years with a Kindle collection of the first three volumes.
In 2026, Radius celebrates 30 years since its creation. The character was conceived in 1996 in Marília, in the Brazilian state of São Paulo, and made his comic book debut in 2022. To mark this journey, Mustache Comics has prepared the Brazilian edition RADIUS: A Saga Completa, bringing together the three volumes of the first story arc in a single Kindle eBook.
This anniversary edition connects two stages of the same story: a drawing created by Tiago de Moraes das Chagas as a teenager, and a Brazilian superhero universe that eventually gained published comics, its own characters and a city imagined far into the future.
From a drawing in 1996 to the first comic in 2022
Radius began in 1996 while Tiago was a student in Marília. His wish to create an original character grew out of his interest in superhero comics. Years of development followed before the first comic was published in 2022.
The 30th anniversary in 2026 celebrates the creation of the character, not 30 years of publication. The comic book series began in 2022.
The blog tells that story in From a 1996 drawing to the 2022 comic: the journey of Radius.
The complete first story arc, volumes 1 to 3
A Saga Completa collects all three volumes of the first story arc in one file. The individual volumes remain available as a separate way to discover the series.
- Volume 1: A New Hero Emerges!
- Volume 2: Welcome to the Kennel
- Volume 3: Turning Point
The story unfolds in Marília Metropolitana in the year 3121. Major Pimã rules a city where holograms conceal the ruins. Far away, Aruanda shelters the resistance. Lukas Xagas falls into the hands of Dr. Otium and becomes the first test subject of project R.A.D.I.U.S., awakening with powers he has yet to understand.
Pituco also has a place in this world. Inspired by the author’s own dog, the character joins the adventure and brings a personal connection to the origins of this universe.
Discover the three volumes and their setting at Universo Radius and explore the character archive.
