As Panteras 250: A Hermafrodita – Richard de Cas and the Taboo-Breaking Era of Brazilian Underground Comics
Introduction: The Mythical Issue
In the sprawling, chaotic, and brilliant history of Brazilian quadrinhos (comics), few series have achieved the cult status of "As Panteras." Published during the 1970s, 80s, and early 90s, this series blended hard-boiled crime fiction, eroticism, graphic violence, and social transgression. Among its legendary run, issue number 250—titled "A Hermafrodita" (The Hermaphrodite)—stands as one of the most controversial, sought-after, and artistically daring entries. Credited to the pseudonymous or little-documented artist Richard de Cas (often misspelled as "Richard de Cas..."), this issue pushes the boundaries of body horror, gender identity, and pulp storytelling.

If you collect Brazilian capa quente (hot cover) paperbacks or study erotic pulp, A Hermafrodita is a worthwhile addition. For casual readers seeking respectful representation or polished writing, look elsewhere. Read it with a critical lens, and you’ll find a weird, sleazy, oddly brave time capsule.

Conclusão
"As Panteras 250 — A Hermafrodita" de Richard de Cas é um texto que combina fúria lírica e precisão formal para esmiuçar as complexidades do gênero e da corporeidade. Ao transformar a linguagem em um espaço de operação sobre o corpo, o poema propõe uma ética da multiplicidade: ser inteiro através da multiplicidade, assertivo na ambiguidade, e politicamente engajado na própria invenção de si.
O Estilo: O texto é cru. Não há espaço para metáforas complexas. O foco está na ação e na reação emocional dos personagens diante do "proibido".
Author: Richard de Cas was a prolific pseudonym used for various pocket book authors during this era. Authors in this series often wrote stories featuring detectives, spies, or romantic adventures with explicit themes.
