  • A Turma do Penadinho é uma das criações de Maurício de Sousa, que parodia o gênero terror, mostra monstros e assombrações tentando se divertir no cemitério. Mauricio disse que essa turma "foi criada para desmistificar os medos e pavores que cercaram a nossa infância, ou ainda cercam a infância de milhares de crianças em vastas áreas deste país." O personagem Penadinho apareceu pela primeira vez em 1963, nas tirinhas do Cebolinha como um dos coadjuvantes do personagem e na época era conhecido como "Fantasminha". Em 1964, o personagem passou a estrelar sua própria tirinha com seus amigos fantasmas e em 1965 seguinte, ganhou um livro ilustrado intitulado Penadinho contra o Caçador de Cabeça lançado pela Editora FTD. Até o final dos anos 60 e o começo dos anos 70, vários outros monstros coadjuvantes passaram a aparecer interagindo com o personagem como Zé Vampir, Muminho e Cranicola. (pt)
