Biela

Debuting in the pages of Pumby #168 in 1960, Biela is a Silver Age creation of Palop for Editorial Valenciana, the beloved Spanish publisher whose comics delighted generations of young readers. Over a run stretching into the mid-1960s, Biela carved out a cozy corner of that cheerful Pumby universe, sharing those lively pages with a wonderfully named cast including Becerrín, Plumita, Monucho, Barbudín, and Aladino. With 53 catalogued appearances and at least one recognized key issue to their name, Biela is a charming piece of mid-century Spanish comics history — exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through Editorial Valenciana's output such a rewarding adventure for collectors.
