In Mexico and other countries of latin america, from the middle of the 60's to the end of the 80's one comic Hero was the king:
Kaliman, "El hombre increible". Kaliman is a semi legendary caracter. Dark skin and blue eyes, he is a mestizo. He was rised as a prince somewhere near pakistan, but learned the secrets of the tibetan monks. He has wealth, powers, knowledge, and high moral values. He travels whith an egyptian child, "Solin". Kaliman born as a radio series and soon have his own comic book. Starting with sales of 150,000 a week. It reached sales of 3,500,000 a week. Even more, some market studies showed that each comic book was read by at least 4 people ! First issued in 1965, it ran until 1991. Reissues of the comic started to appear in 1998. As far as I know, they are still reissuing the old comics.
