Issue 1
The Brazilian Street Fighter Zero 3 comic is a four issue mini-series, based on Street Fighter Zero 3, published in 1998/1999 by Trama Editorial (not related to the Spanish publisher with an identical name). It was written by Marcelo Cassaro, drawn by Erica Awano, and colored by Wagner Fukuhara. Each issue also had a short side-story written by Cassaro and drawn by other artists.
Previously, Cassaro had worked on Street Fighter comics for Editora Escala. Initially, the publisher released three issues from Malibu Comics, where he served as editor. In issues #4 and #5, Cassaro wrote two original stories. Later, he was invited by one of Escala’s former partners, Ruy Pereira, to join his new publishing house, Trama Editorial.
At Trama, Cassaro invited Alexandre Nagado, who took on the roles of editor and writer. There, Cassaro created the magazine Dragão Brasil and the RPG system Defensores de Tóquio (Defenders of Tokyo), a parody of Japanese anime, manga, video games, and tokusatsu franchises.
In its third edition, renamed 3D&T, the system became a more generic role-playing game. Cassaro then acquired the license to adapt Street Fighter Zero 3 for 3D&T, along with a new comic book miniseries illustrated by Érica Awano (known for drawing Novas Aventuras de Megaman for Magnum). Other licensed adaptations for 3D&T included Final Fight, Mega Man, and Mortal Kombat.
