Books and Translations
Most strips that were not too closely tied to then current events were chronologically republished in ten small books simply named Mafalda and numbered from one to ten, with two strips on each page. This excludes the very first ones, published in Primera Plana, but never reprinted until 1989.
The Argentine editions are as follows, published by Ediciones de la Flor (except for the first five books, which were first published by Editorial Jorge Álvarez):
- Mafalda (1966)
- Así es la cosa, Mafalda (This is the way things are, Mafalda) (1967)
- Mafalda 3 (1968)
- Mafalda 4 (1968)
- Mafalda 5 (1969)
- Mafalda 6 (1970)
- Mafalda 7 (1972)
- Mafalda 8 (1973)
- Mafalda 9 (1974)
- Mafalda 10 (1974)
- Mafalda Inédita (Unpublished Mafalda) (1989)
- 10 Años con Mafalda (Ten years with Mafalda) (1991)
- Toda Mafalda (The Whole Mafalda) (1992)
The editions differ in other countries: in Spain the small books are numbered from 0 to 10 and the full compilation is called Todo Mafalda, all published by Editorial Lumen; in Mexico the small books go from 1 to 12 and are currently published by Tusquets Editores.
Although most strips were translated into different European languages as well as into simplified and traditional Chinese, there were only a few publications in English. In the United States of America, his only published work is The World of Quino (1986). Beginning in 2004, however, Quino's publisher in Argentina, Ediciones de la Flor, started publishing English-language collections of Mafalda strips under the series title Mafalda & Friends.
