Fabio,
like Richard, I'm a fan of obscure hero comics and have been collecting and collating info. on British and non-English language heroes for years. I only recently became aware of Brazilian comics thanks to trawling through the internet. I thought it was strange to discover an Australian hero, The Phantom Ranger, reprinted in Brazil in the comic, O Cavaleiro Fantasma - a direct translation, I think? Oddly enough, the strip hasn't been reprinted in the U.K. despite being an English language original.
If you are interested, I have information on many British and European obscure superheros and Masked Mystery Men.
I have been a fan of superhero comics since I was at primary school, in the 1950's and I share the enthusiasm for them that Richard has talked about. What might interest both you and Richard are the number of masked mystery men who appeared in British storypapers before there were comic books in Britain. Flaming Avenger; Flying Justice; Phantom Protector; The Iron Man (no relation); Black Whip and many more.
I can bore for Scotland on this, so ignore me if you get fed up.
