O Tico-Tico was the first comic book in Brazil.

Founded in 1905 by the journalist Luis Bartolomeu de Souza e Silva, it was published weekly as a children's magazine until 1957.

After 1957, due to heavy competition with the Suplemento Juvenil and O Gibi, its publication changed to only special editions until 1977, when it was canceled.
