Where could I find the COMPLETE ISSUE of MEMIN PINGUIN comic? In MEXICO, USA, or ANOTHER country?

Question

How many issues are they?
How does Memin adventure end (Is he dead in the end?!?)?
Is there any complete translation in English?
BTW, would I have Memin in Sepia or Full-Colored edition out there?

Answer 1

The Wikipedia article below gives you many of the basics about the history and times of the character. There has indeed been controversy, most recently in terms of a Mexican stamp honoring the character.



You can find issues of the comic on eBay, or you might want to check with used book sellers such as Alibris. And, of course, if you come to Mexico, you will find current issues in most places that sell books or magazines.

Answer 2

Well, they started writing it in the 40´s and it still is published. So, probably still alive, getting into mischief, taking care of his mother.

I do not believe there is a translation in English, there was a huge debate because they made it into stamps and US thought it was racist, because images like that were used in the US to promote racism. In Mexico it is different...

ok, so you can buy recent issues at any comic shop in Mexico and old issues in...

E-bay!!!

Hahaha, I don´t know the history of Memin Pingüin, but I´m sure you can find it´s comic books in any "kiosko", like little portable shops on the streets.

El original es de pingo, pero como en los años en que sacaron la primera edición había mucho analfabetismo y poca cultura en las clases medias y bajas (que eran los que mas compraban la historieta) no sabían bien el uso de la diéresis y lo nombraban como pingüin (de pingüino) y por eso le cambiaron el nombre y le pusieron la diéresis
