Here is what I found about the Romanian Editor: EDITURA MARKETING MANAGEMENT EUROPE.
Pharaoh : ISBN 973-87582-0-3
Lotus : ISBN 973-87582-1-1
Translators :Elly Moga - Manulescu Irena - Romanescu Paula
Does anybody can help me to find more information about this publisher , or could you give me addresses of bookshops were I could find Romanian Tintin Comics?

Hi Sponsz,
I contacted some Romanian Tintin fans and they were not aware of this edition.
One quote: "Unfortunately, I don't know of any Romanian translations of Tintin. I couldn't
find anything on the web either, though I tried advanced searches and I used
different book store and library catalogues. Where did you find the two
translations mentioned?

Tintin is certainly known in Romania, but that's mainly because people read
the original version. Romanian publishing houses didn't start publishing
translations of cartoon/comics/bandes desinees until recently, and Garfield was
their first choice."

Maybe the books are not yet in print. Have you found more about them recently?

I have 2 comics in Romanian at home, Cigars and Lotus.
So they really excist and they are really in Romanian.
I know that they are only recently on the market in Romania.
There must be someone in Romania who must find them!
Here the address of the publisher : Marketing Management Europe
21, Street Mecet
O24083 Bucaresti
Please let me know if you find them in Romania.

I am very keen to track down Tintin in Romanian [i.e. the translation].
Is the full series going to be translated, or just Cigars and Lotus?
Also, can anyone confirm what price any Romanian translations went for on ebay?

yours,
Dr Kropsel
