BRUGUERA - Barcelona 1975-1982 Serie Nancy I have never seen one of these first hand, but series book enthusiast John Axe was kind enough to provide me with the graphics for this page. The story is presented in text format with a series of illustrated panels, similar to a comic book. All the graphics are original and the work of artist José Triay Cuenca. I really dig Nancy's cool jeans jacket with all the 1970s patches!

SUSAETA EDICIONES, S.A. - Madrid 1987 The six titles from the Nancy Drew - Hardy Boys "Be A Detective" series were translated for the Spanish market, and two editions were created: one for the Spanish speakers, and one for the readers who prefer Catalan. In the Spanish (Castellana) version, the series was called: Nancy Drew y los Hardy: Adventuras de Misterio donde el Detective eres Tu! The cover encourages you to "Vive tu pròpia aventura (pick your own adventure)! The books use the American artwork on the cover, as well as Paul Frame's internal illustrations, but has white background with pink lettering and purple horizontal graphics. Translated by Federico Sánchez-Ventura. In the Catalan version, the series is called Nancy Drew I els germans Hardy. Although I don't have a copy, I imagine the covers are similar and only the text has been varied. |

PLAZA Y JANES - 1989
So far only one title has been reported to me from this publisher: La venganza del comodin (The Joker's Revenge), published in 1989. It appears that this was just one story printed as part of a book club in conjuction with other offerings such as Kafka's Metamorphoses and Willow by George Lucas. I'm not sure who made the decisions about what books to offer, but they had interesting taste! Further Nancy Drew titles do not appear to have been translated for the series.
Special thanks to Susan Roman for the scan and information on this title. |
