Poe 1968, Pt. 26

(Continued from Poe 1968, Pt. 25)

VIDAS ILUSTRES  195
"EDGAR ALLAN POE  EL MAESTRO DEL TERROR"
     (w/ English Translation  /  Conclusion)

Editorial Novaro is a publisher based in Mexico City.  Begining in the 1950s, their output has included reprints of American comics.  For "fiscal reasons" they had subdivisions, EMSA (Ediciones Modernas), SEA (Sociedad Editora America), and for many years were the single largest comics publisher in Latin America.

VIDAS ILUSTRES (Illustrious Lives) told the real-life stories of famous people for 338 issues from 1956-1974.

The last 5 pages of this comic, as it turns out, contains in its narrative a short version of one of Poe's most famous stories...

"THE BLACK CAT".

     This was the 7th version of this story, following...
Charlton's YELLOWJACKET COMICS #1 (Sep'44),
EC's THE HAUNT OF FEAR #15 [1] (May-Jun'50),  
St. John's NIGHTMARE #12 (Apr'54), 
Outubro's CLASSICOS DE TERROR #14 (1961),  
Dell's Movie Classic TALES OF TERROR (Feb'63), and 
Taika's PAGINAS SINISTRAS #3 (1966)
     ...the last one 2 years earlier.

ENJOY!

Poe 1968, Pt. 25

(Continued from Poe 1968, Pt. 24)

VIDAS ILUSTRES  195
"EDGAR ALLAN POE  EL MAESTRO DEL TERROR"
     (w/ English Translation)

Editorial Novaro is a publisher based in Mexico City.  Begining in the 1950s, their output has included reprints of American comics.  For "fiscal reasons" they had subdivisions, EMSA (Ediciones Modernas), SEA (Sociedad Editora America), and for many years were the single largest comics publisher in Latin America.

In the 1970s, the demand for American comics was so high in Latin American countries and Spain, that local talent was recruited to create new adventures never seen in America!

Since 1985, they decided to drop out of comics to focus on other publishing areas, including free textbooks to Mexico's education system, which are printed in the millions, because they are distributed on several continents.

With regard to Edgar Allan Poe, Novaro published 2 adaptations of his stories in their TESORO DE CUENTOS CLASSICOS series (in 1961 and 1963), reprints of Dell's movie adaptations in CLASSICOS DEL CINE (in 1963, 1964, and 1966), distributed Editorial Temporae's EL MONJE LOCO (in 1968, 1969 and 1970, and, a biography comic in one issue of their long-running VIDAS ILUSTRES (in 1968).

VIDAS ILUSTRES (Illustrious Lives) told the real-life stories of famous people for 338 issues from 1956-1974.

As of 8-27-2017, I have not been able to determine who the writer or artist were on this book.  Any help in that area would be appreciated!

As I processed this comic, I was surprised to find than embedded in its narrative was the 1st comics adaptation of Poe's satire on the mental health industry...

"THE SYSTEM OF DOCTOR TARR AND PROFESSOR FETHER".

While most of the comic required no research to translate into English, the part that was adaptated from Poe's short story required I reference the original text, as some of what was kicked out of Google Translate made no obvious sense.  This has become quite normal for this project.

ENJOY!
