This thesis discusses Francisco Iwerten case. Born in Curitiba, Iwerten created Capitão Gralha (Captain Jackdaw), the first Brazilian super-hero, and published it in Curitiba at the beginning of 1940s. This entirely fictitious story was created in a text I wrote to Metal Pesado (Heavy Metal) Curitiba magazine in 1997. Despite the text being fictional, many believed that Iwerten and his creation had really existed, going as far as Iwerten winning an Ângelo Agostini prize as Master of National Comics. In September 2014 the story was revealed at a discussion table of II Curitiba Gibicon comics event. The project concerns the analysis of the case and the creative process of the album Capitão Gralha’s Lost Stories, which will be produced as if it was a rescue of Iwerten’s stories and will have my scripts with multiple draughtsmen’s art. The thesis is based on the concepts of simulacrum and hyperreality, especially from the approaches of Umberto Eco and Baudrillard. The aim is to analyze how the boundaries between reality and fiction were gradually fading and how art, literature and comics reflect this process through works that test those limits. Literary and artistic works that used this approach are analyzed, creating a likelihood that, although fictional, have been taken as real. It will also be detailed historical process of creating myths Francisco Iwerten and Captain Crow and analyzed how it has expanded, especially after the popularization of the Internet. Will be analyzed in detail the process of creating the project deals with the case analysis and the album creation process lost stories of Captain Crow, released on April 1, 2016, in Gibiteca of Curitiba. The album, using the concepts of simulacrum and hyperreality, emulates rescue publications with stories in "original" comic Iwerten and his team, introductory texts unraveling the creative designer process and the context of creation of each story, and a detailed biography of Iwerten, which describes in detail the whole trajectory of this imaginary comic artist, from his Jewish ancestry, the trip to the United States within the good-neighbor policy and the publication of stories. The thesis focuses on the intricacies of creating this detail and verisimilitude strategies adopted for the album became hyper-real. It also analyzes other likelihood strategies such as fan-page of Captain Crow, which deals Iwerten as real as to publish even quotes.
