EXPLAINING DISNEY #21I take a look at the evolution of Jose, Joe or Ze Carioca, the Samba-loving, Malandros inspired, Brazillian friend of Donald Duck and Pa.
On this website I am posting translations of Zé Carioca comics. Most comics were originally scanned and uploaded by Bartolomeu777. All comics are at least 20 years old and out of print.
O Mistério Do Papagaio Sem Fala (Zé Carioca #503, 1961)
Jorge Kato is a Brazilian artist of Disney comics. Born in Bastos into a family of Japanese origins, Kato started working for Editorial Abril in 1953. At first he was a letterer and cover designer for the publisher's Disney titles Mickey and Pato Donald. Kato, together with Luis Destuet and Álvaro de Moya, was among the first local artists to draw Disney material.
Ze Carioca Comics
Although his initial Disney art included only covers and advertisements, Kato was the first to produce a Brazilian Disney comic, published in O Pato Donald in December 1959. Throughout the 1960s he worked on Disney comics starring varying characters, but mainly 'Zé Carioca'. He produced the first stories for the eponymous title from 1961 and continued to work extensively on new stories until 1967. These included original material, but also reworked versions of foreign Mickey and Donald comics to 'Zé Carioca' stories. He also created new characters, such as Carioca's nephews Zico & Zeca.
A Volta De Zé Carioca (O Pato Donald #434, 1960)
When Abril got it's own production center, Kato was accompanied by artists like Waldyr Igayara De Souza, Izomar Camargo Guilherme and Carlos Edgard Herrero. By the 1970s, Kato was editor of the Abril Disney titles and tutor with the publishing house's Disney school. In this occupation, he learned artists like Euclides Miyaura and Eli Leon the finer points of the profession.
