Lupo modern (subtitle: Das Junge Magazin ) was a predominantly weekly youth magazine designed by Rolf Kauka and published by Kauka-Verlag from 1964 to 1966 .

background

The cartoon character Lupo came from the Fix and Foxi comics. The anthropomorphic wolf was portrayed there as a lovable good-for-nothing who attracted attention with brisk sayings and subversive behavior. A special issue was dedicated to him as early as 1959. In the fall of 1964, his own magazine was finally published, which was initially simply called Lupo and appeared monthly. In May 1965, after seven editions, it was renamed Lupo modern and appeared weekly from then on. A total of 70 issues were published, divided into two volumes: 1964/65 with the numbers 1–37, 1966 with the numbers 1–33. After that, from August 1966, Tip Top magazine continued numbering and running series as the primary comic magazine with only a small editorial content (until it was discontinued with No. 80 in June 1967).

content

Lupo modern was conceived as a youth magazine that contained both comics and youth cultural contributions. The focus was initially on the comic stories, the focus of the 40-page magazine moved from no. 10/1966 on reports from the Star scene and youth-specific topics that approximately 2 / 3 accounted for the magazine.

comics

The stories of Asterix and Obelix first appeared in Lupo modern , but in a very free translation and under the name of Siggi and Babarras . The series degenerated into German turmoil and hardly hidden anti-Semitism , so that Albert Uderzo and René Goscinny revoked the right to reprint from Rolf Kauka after four publications.

However, Kauka had other licenses from the publishers Dupuis and Dargaud , so that the also quite free translations of Spirou , Michel Tanguy and Lucky Luke appeared in serial series. The series Old Nick and Valhardi (under the title Kouki ) as well as the in-house production Die Pichelsteiner were added later .

Reports

Similar to the Bravo , some background reports appeared on the then popular stars such as the Beatles , Pierre Brice , Udo Jürgens and Cliff Richard . Fixed columns were "Die Zeitlupe" and its parody "Die Zeithupe" as well as the series "Stars und Sterne". With the change of the concept, the "mod-Magazin" with reports from the music world and the "Gitarrenschule" by Drafi Deutscher were added. The photographer Wolfgang Heilemann worked on the sheet as a music editor . Jewelery brands with stars were printed in the magazine as “mod brands”.

cover photo

Up to issue 6 the figure Lupo was always to be seen on the title page. This was lost when it was renamed “Lupo modern”. Now other cartoon characters or photos of stars have been added to the cover picture. Here you can also see the first cover shots of Heilemann, who shot The Lords and Roy Black for the cover, among others .
