Urso Pera Comics is the comic book duo composed of Kami Aguiar (illustration) and
Luiz Moura (script) which started through an autobiographical (but not really) comic book project that bears the same name as the duo.
The comics deal with themes such as
gender identity, experiences within the spectrum of asexuality and non-binary,
depression, anxiety, pop culture among other things. Through a light-hearted approach, the goal is to bring the reader a sense of comfort and community.
The project began in June 2018 , being posted both in Portuguese and English weekly on social media and, currently, on comic platforms such as Tapas and Webtoon.
In 2024, we independently launched our first physical book: ComPERAdão Urso Pera , a large compilation with more than 350 pages that contains all the comics posted over 5 years along with exclusive content such as texts, experimental art and, of course,
more comics.
In addition, we also published two zines (one in 2019 and the other in 2024) that have no connection to autobiographical comics, being short stories with a more melancholic tone.
For the future, the intention is to do more of this type of format with original stories, but without interrupting the comic that started it all.
