| Dossier: Dossier: Spanish & Argentinian |
| Introduction |
| Spain is an interesting country for international Asterix collectors, as many languages are spoken in the country. This page covers the Spanish (Castilian) editions. In 1965/66 the first three books of the series were published by Editorial Molino. After that the other books were published by another editor, starting with book 4. Although the name of the Asterix publisher in Spain has changed many times over the years, we could not find any obvious changes in translations (apart from the map text in the Molino editions). Presently the books are publshed by Salvat. In the 1970's there has been a separate translation of some of the books for Spanish South America, published in Argentina by Editorial Abril. As of 2015 there is a separate Spanish edition for South America by libros del Zorzal / Planeta. |
