Gasparin (Mexican 1952-1970 La Prensa) Casper comic books 1938-1955

The first issue of Mexican publisher La Prensa's long-running series, reprinting the adventures of Casper the Friendly Ghost in the Spanish language. The cover and perhaps the contents are reprinted from Casper the Friendly Ghost (1952 2nd Series Harvey) #15. At this point in the Harvey series, the character and his cast were still in their early stages of development, and regular contributors included Bill Hudson and Baby Huey creator Marty Taras. La Prensa was well-known in Central and South America for its Spanish-language reprints of U.S. comics, including other Harvey characters, Dick Tracy, The Spirit, and even the Silver Age Marvels. 32 pages, Full Color.
