There's some confusion in the Wiki about "Editora Globo". "The Almanaque de O Globo Juvenil" for example was published by "O Globo" not by "Editora Globo".

Some History:

Editora Globo: founded in 1886, published books, had nothing to do with the Phantom or Mandrake until it was bought by "O Globo" in 1986.

O Globo: founded in 1925, published newspapers and comics (O Globo Juvenil, Gibi, etc...) in newspaperprint paper and tabloid format. It is now a huge communications conglomerate with newspapers (O Globo, Extra), tv stations (Rede Globo), cable tv stations (NET), radio stations (Radio Globo), publishing house (Editora Globo), etc...

RGE: founded in 1952, published magazines (Fantasma, Mandrake, etc...), owned by "O Globo". It was in fact the magazine branch of "O Globo" newspaper. Changed name to "Editora Globo" in 1986 when "O Globo" bought the 100-year old "Editora Globo".

When "O Globo" started "RGE" in 1952, they wanted to name it "Editora Globo", but they couldn't because of the existence of the 1886 company with that same name. Only reason they bought "Editora Globo" in 1986 was to get hold of the "Globo" name.

So any Mandrake publication before 1952 (and some after that) was published by "O Globo". Any Mandrake publication between 1952 and 1986 would be "RGE" Any Mandrake publication after 1986 would be "Editora Globo"

Of course there were other publishers as well.
