History

H. Pimenta

It seems like that "Hiquafi-Editora" started as "H. Pimenta" in 1978 (?) with several different series. Five of them were released with similar looking covers: "Colecção Ataque", "Colecção Cowboys", "Colecção Detective", "Colecção Policial" and "Colecção Pré-História". These series came out with only one number each and the back covers had ads for their other series like first issue of "Ben Bolt" and "João Tempestade".

Four fortnightly series were devoted to one figure: Colecção Acção "Agente Secreto X-9" (Secret Agent X-9, issues 1-5), Colecção K.O. "Ben Bolt" (Big Ben Bolt, issues 1-5), Colecção Vida a Vida "Dr. Kildare" (issues 1-5) and Colecção Espaço "João Tempestade" (Johnny Hazard, issues 1-5). Note: all issues 5 is marked with monthly release frequency.

In addition there are some other series by "H. Pimenta", like 3 issues of a series named "Oum, o Golfinho Branco".

Hiquafi-Editora

The first series where the HE logo is printed on the cover are devoted to three well-known KFS characters: "Mandrake", "Fantasma" and "Flash Gordon". Even though all three first issues have #1 printed on the covers, all series ended with only one issue released.

With increased price (from 10$00 to 15$00) "Hiquafi-Editora" made a new attempt to launch new series. In addition to the new "Mandrake" (issues 1-11), "Fantasma" (issues 1-12) and "Flash Gordon" (issues 1-4) two more series were released: the WWII series "Histórias da 2ª Guerra Mundial" (issues 1-2) and the western series "Epopeia do Oeste" (issues 1-2).
