El Mundo Cómico

El Mundo Cómico was a Spanish satirical weekly magazine published in Madrid between October 1872 and 1876, during the Sexenio Democrático (1868–1874), a period when press freedom allowed such publications to flourish. The graphic weekly ran to about eight pages per issue and changed printers frequently over its short life. It is remembered as one of the first publications in Spain to print comic strips, including 'Por un coracero' by José Luis Pellicer and 'Al buen pagador' by Francisco Cubas. Publication was interrupted between November and December 1875 before ceasing entirely in 1876. The magazine is documented in the Spanish National Library's Hemeroteca Digital and in Antonio Martín's study 'Los Inventores del Cómic Español, 1873–1900'.
