Heroes del Comic

Heroes del Comic, a Spanish comic series launched by Buru Lan in 1971 and still running for 36 issues, is a foundational anthology that showcases the country’s finest cartoonists and their original creations. Known for its eclectic mix of genres—from adventure and humor to science fiction and horror—it served as a vital platform for emerging talent during the twilight of Franco’s regime. The series is most associated with its early champion, the prolific writer and artist Antonio Hernández Palacios, whose work helped define its bold, expressive style. As a long-running touchstone of Spanish comics, Heroes del Comic matters for preserving and celebrating the unique voice of Iberian graphic storytelling.
