I Am Legend (17/54) - Mundo de Vampiros (1958)


1958 saw the first Portuguese translation of I Am Legend — Mundo de Vampiros (World of Vampires) which was published in Brazil.



What makes this particularly copy unique is that it's one of a handful of editions in the Archive that came from the collection of the author (one of the complimentary copies received upon publication). These books were sold through a bookstore in Burbank in the late '90s, and were hand-signed by Richard Matheson. For me, the autograph is a welcome but unnecessary bonus, as I was thrilled to fill a number of key foreign language edition holes in my collection from the author's personal stash!


Check back next week for another item from the I Am Legend Archive!
