El Catalogo Make A Grab For DC Comics Spanish Language Rights
Bleeding Cool has previously reported on Chile's publishing of DC Comics, moving them into the mainstream. Looks like they've been too sucessful.
In January, Spanish publisher El Catalogo will begin publishing comic books from DC Comics including their sub brands, Vertigo, DC Kids and Mad in Spanish, in both Spain and across South America, after successfully bidding for the license.
Planeta De Agostini, the previous holder of rights in Spain, began publishing DC Comics in Spain after Panini took their Marvel license away six years ago. And now they have fallen foul of a similar action.
El Catalogo are committed to preserving the numbering from previously published issues. More than DC are doing in the US of course.
