Combo Rangers is a series of comics created in 1998 by Japanese-Brazilian author Fábio Yabu. The series debuted as a webcomic, but eventually received a print version published by JBC and Panini Comics.
The series is inspired by superheroes from pop culture, initially taking inspiration from Japanese tokusatsu heroes such as Super Sentai and its American version Power Rangers, initially starting as a comedy webcomic focused on parodies, but which developed over time with more serious narratives while still maintaining some of its original comedy proposal. The series shows the adventures of a group of children who are summoned by the retired superhero Mighty Combo to become a squad of superheroes willing to defend their city from various villains.
The comic was canceled in 2004 for financial reasons, but maintained its legacy by returning as a trilogy of Graphic Novels between 2013 and 2017. Combo Rangers has won the HQ Mix Award three times.
