¡Alarma! (magazine)

¡Alarma! (Spanish for "Alarm!") was a Mexican news-magazine that specialized in very graphic pictures of traffic accidents, murder victims,[1] as well as pictures of scantily clad women.

¡Alarma! was canceled because the editor died.[2]

History and profile

It was censored briefly between 1986 and 1991, during which time it was not published, before returning as El nuevo Alarma! The magazine states it had a circulation of 15 million copies. The magazine has been discontinued since 2014.
