'''Opera Mundi''' (subsequently known as "Agepresse") is a press agency created by [[Paul Winkler]] in 1928 and disappeared during the 1990s.

== History ==
Specializing in the distribution of comics, notably through the magazines "[[Le Journal de Mickey]]" (1934), "[[Robinson]]" (1936), "[[Hop-là!]]" (1937) and "[[Hardi présente "Donald"]]" (1947) - publications having all featuring "[[Mandrake the Magician]]" -, "Opera Mundi" published comic strips bought from [[King Features Syndicate]] but also original creations, in partnership with Hachette. Its title intended for women, "[[Confidences]]", was launched in 1937-1938.

The company, placed under Vichy regime's laws during the German occupation, was returned to Winkler in 1945. Two years later, he founded, with "Hachette", the company "Édi-Monde" which operated other forms of magazines.

The press agency "Opera Mundi" had the right to translate and sell comic King Features'strips to various French newspapers (e.g. Mandrake in the national newspaper "[[France Soir]]" of which Paul Winkler was also director from 1976 until his death in 1982.
