'''Kaliman, The Incredible Man''' is one of best known superheroes ever created in Latin America (though curiously, the character himself isn't Latino.) Originally a Radio Show from the 1960's, it was adapted into a comic book series that lasted until the 1980's, as well as two live-action movies during the '70s. |
