Item Description

Kaliman #13 – Editora Cinco (Colombia, Bronze Age)

Kaliman is one of the most iconic superheroes of Latin America, published by Editora Cinco in Colombia during the Bronze Age. Unlike Marvel or DC heroes, Kaliman blends wisdom, mysticism, and physical strength in adventures that span exotic locations, ancient secrets, and epic battles against unforgettable villains.

Cultural Significance

Latin American phenomenon: born as a popular radio drama, later adapted into films and one of the longest-running comic series of the region.

Unique mix: Eastern philosophy, martial arts, and detective-style mystery, with a hero who fights using both body and mind.

Rare collectible: rarely seen in U.S. markets, making these Bronze Age editions a cultural treasure beyond the Marvel/DC universe.

Vintage printing: produced on inexpensive regional newsprint, giving each copy a distinctive old-school look and feel.

About This Issue
Each Kaliman comic is a stand-alone adventure, where the hero faces not only physical dangers but also spiritual challenges — from international criminals to ancient curses and secret societies.

Note on Printing Style
Unlike U.S. comics printed on white stock, Editora Cinco published Kalimán using sepia-toned newsprint. The yellowish/sepia look of the pages is original to the printing process, not damage or aging. This gives each issue a distinctive vintage character, true to how readers in Latin America experienced the series in the 1970s.
