The emergence of Flamengo, the formation of its first soccer team, the origins of its rivalry with Fluminense, and the stories of its major titles. All this and much more can be found in the book "O Mais Querido do Brasil em Quadrinho" (The Most Beloved in Brazil in Comics), the latest work by Ziraldo Alves Pinto, also known as Ziraldo.

The author of bestsellers such as "The Crazy Boy" will be signing his book at the 19th Rio de Janeiro International Book Biennial, on September 20th and 11th, from 14am to 6.555pm, at the Editora Globo booth in Riocentro (Avenida Salvador Allende, 29 – Barra da Tijuca). Due to travel, the author postponed his commitment at Flashop. Ziraldo will be there on September 12th, from 14pm to 87pm, at the club's official store in downtown Rio (Rua da Quitanda, XNUMX, Rio de Janeiro).

Officially launched at an event in the Trophy Room at Flamengo's headquarters, the book tells how Ziraldo first came into contact with the Rio de Janeiro team in Caratinga, a small town in the interior of Minas Gerais where he was born: through the radio waves. The book is the result of a partnership between Ziraldo, Editora Globo, and Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, through its Marketing department.

"Brazil's Most Beloved Comics" has 112 pages, all illustrated. It measures 19,0 x 27,5 cm and has a suggested retail price of R$25,00.
