Considered one of the most important awards in the Brazilian comics market, it was created by journalist Ramon Vitral and editor Lielson Zeni in 2015 (with the first award taking place at the beginning of the following year), and has professor and translator Maria Clara Carneiro in the organization since the second edition.

The inspiration for the award was the "Best of the Year" lists made annually by journalist Télio Navega on his blog Gibizada (which ended in 2015) based on rankings made by people connected to the Brazilian comics scene.

[4][2][3] All comics released in Brazil, whether national or foreign, independent or by a publishing house, are eligible for the award.

The only requirement is that they are so far unpublished in the country (republications are allowed as long as they are in a new format or translation).

In addition to the results of the three best-placed works, the "top 20" and the individual ranking of each judge are also presented.
