My first Mortadelo and Filemón – Monstruos de Pacotilla…What a Nightmare!

Introduce young readers to two of Spain’s most iconic comic characters, Mortadelo and Filemón, in a format specially adapted for first comic-book adventures. In Mi primer Mortadelo y Filemón – Monstruos de Pacotilla… ¡Qué Pesadilla!, the renowned cartoonist Francisco Ibáñez brings together a major long story and four additional mini-adventures in one colourful, engaging hardcover volume of 120 pages. 

The long story, titled “Los Monstruos”, features the T.I.A. professor Bacterio’s machine that brings literary characters to life—only to unleash chaotic monsters from nightmare-books. The action continues with “La conquista de la Tierra, el Marciano y el Marcianito” and “El vampiro”, in which Mortadelo and Filemón confront alien invaders and a vampirised Filemón. 

Designed for early readers and comics enthusiasts, this edition enriches the reading experience with bonus pages of activities: drawing monsters, puzzles, curiosities about monsters, and even mask-cutouts at the end. The large format (approx. 30 cm × 21 cm) and hardcover binding make it suitable for both home libraries and as a gift.

Whether you’re looking to encourage a child to start reading comics, rekindle your own childhood nostalgia, or simply add a high-quality Spanish-language comic to your collection, this volume delivers laughter, action, and imagination. Make it part of your bookshelf and let the monstrous fun begin!
