Lúpin

"Revista Lúpin" ("Lúpin Magazine") is a monthly comic book ("historieta") from Argentina by Guillermo Guerrero and Héctor Mario Sidoli. It first appeared Feb. 1, 1966. It features the air adventures of its pilot hero Lúpin, as well as other strips with regular characters, usually with a technical or scientific bent. It also includes plans for building model aircraft, simple electronic devices, telescopes, and other gizmos. Although never a huge popular success, it receives letters from Argentinian engineers, pilots, and even a NASA astronaut who read it as children.citation | last = Kloster | first = Alberto D. | year = 2004 | title = Historieta Argentina de Aviación.

The name Lúpin is a lunfardo word for "looping the loop" that comes from the English word "looping". [citation | last = Rodríguez | first = Adolfo Enrique | title = Diccionario Lunfardo Lexicon | url = http://www.todotango.com/spanish/biblioteca/lexicon/lexicon.html | accessdate = 2007-06-04] The accent on the "u" is not standard in Spanish spelling.

Néstor Kirchner, the president of Argentina from 2003 to 2007, is nicknamed Lúpin because of his physical resemblance to the character.

Sidoli died in December, 2006. It was announced in May, 2007, that issue 499 of the "Revista Lúpin" had been the last because of a dispute between Sidoli's widow and Guerrero over author's rights. Some characters might continue in a new magazine owned by Guerrero alone.
