Sítio do Picapau Amarelo was a Brazilian comic book series based on the eponymous novel series Sítio do Picapau Amarelo by Monteiro Lobato. It was originally released in 1977 on the success of the TV series produced by Rede Globo, comic books were published by the publisher RGE who would later become Editora Globo. It continued to be sold until 1979 when the characters Emília, Pedrinho and Visconde now has their own comics replacing the Sítio do Picapau Amarelo, but the comics only lasted two years being sold, and in 1981 the Sítio do Picapau Amarelo returned to be published. The comics remained being published until 1984, two years before the end of the TV series.

Only in 2006 a new comic series was published, this time with the seal of Editora Globo and being based by the 2001 TV series which was still being broadcast at the time, however, the character designs were adapted from the first seasons. The main reason for his return was due to exit of Monica and Friends to publisher Panini Comics, making them would cover space with other comics like O Menino Maluquinho and Cocoricó. It is derived from other comics as the comics of villain Cuca, the return of the comics Emília, among others. However, since when the TV series was canceled in 2007, as none of them gave good yields all ended up being canceled in early 2008 when Globo was decreed the end of comic book publications.
