This exhibition explores the history of Spanish comic books ('tebeos') from 1917 to 1977, tracing their evolution through genres, characters, and authors. Featuring over 250 original works and publications, it highlights the cultural significance of these narratives that shaped generations of Spanish readers.
The exhibition 'Historietas del tebeo 1917-1977' delves into the rich history of Spanish comic books, focusing on the pivotal period between 1917, the birth year of the influential _TBO_ magazine, and 1977, the emergence of _Totem_ which signaled a shift towards adult comics. Located at the Puerta Real Exhibition Centre of CAJAGRANADA Fundación, the exhibition traces the historical progression of this medium, presenting the adventures and characters that formed a significant part of Spanish childhood culture and graphic heritage. Iconic figures such as Pulgarcito, Mickey, El Capitán Trueno, and Mortadelo y Filemón are featured. With an extensive collection of over 250 original works and period publications, the exhibition examines the origins and consolidation of 'tebeos' as a literary genre, their appeal to young readers across genres like westerns, romance, and heroic adventures, and ultimately answers the question of what constitutes a 'tebeo'. The narrative is structured into three distinct sections: a chronological overview detailing the industry's progression and context; 'Genres, characters, and authors,' which revisits Spanish comic book genres including humorous, adventure, romantic, official (political and religious), and adult comics; and 'Intimacies of the tebeo,' dedicated to the production, formats, almanacs, foreign editions, graphic novels, and rare or singular comic publications.
This exhibition is presented at the Puerta Real Exhibition Centre of CAJAGRANADA Fundación. Specific ticketing information is not detailed on this page, but visitors are directed to general museum information for access details.
