An X-ray of the Radius universe: the project in numbers

Sometimes the best way to understand a project is to look at the numbers. This is an X-ray of the Radius universe, from the basics to what has already happened off the page.

The basics

The publications

The first major arc adds up to 120 pages across three volumes.

That makes four comics and one book, all available on Amazon.

The cast

The Radius Universe Archive holds 13 characters and 2 territories in conflict, Marília Metropolitana and Aruanda. Outside the main saga, the Pituco Universe brings together a team of 15 heroes led by the mixed-breed dog.

The recognition

• 2023: Radius Volume 1 wins the Oscar Schrappe Sobrinho Award, for graphic excellence, and the Fernando Pini Award, for editorial excellence and print finishing.
• 2024: Radius Volume 2 wins the Oscar Schrappe Sobrinho Award and is recognized by the Popular Jury of DSHBR 2024, in Niterói.

In the press

The Press Room adds up to 170 records across 12 TV, web and radio outlets, over 5 years of coverage.

Off the page

• More than 350 people at the launch of Volume 1, at UNIMAR.
• 10,000 free stickers from the Eu Freio Para Animais campaign.
• 75 kg of pet food collected at the launch of the book Quatro Patas.
• 700 people at the RCR Radius Pet Run, in Pompeia.
• 97 years of Marília: the civic parade where the mascot Pitucão made his debut, in April 2026.

For a project that started as an idea in 1996 and only reached readers in 2022, that is quite a lot. And the count goes on.
