Karate Kid

Ediciones Vértice's Karate Kid series, running from 1978 to its conclusion at seven issues, adapts the martial arts film phenomenon into a Spanish comic book. While the series shares its name with the DC Comics character, this standalone publication focuses on the underdog story of Daniel LaRusso and his training under Mr. Miyagi, capturing the spirit of the original movie for a Spanish-speaking audience. Though brief, it stands as a unique piece of 1970s licensed comic publishing, reflecting the global reach of the film's cultural impact.
