Espuelas

Born in the pages of Pumby #142 in 1960, Espuelas is a Silver Age creation from Spain's beloved Editorial Valenciana, brought to life by Arturo Rojas de la Cámara during one of the most charming eras in European comics. Sharing the colorful world of Pumby alongside characters like Jimmy, Pumby, Becerrín, Monucho, and Trompy, Espuelas inhabits a wonderfully lively corner of mid-century Spanish comics that deserves far more attention from collectors beyond the Iberian Peninsula. With 21 catalogued appearances and at least one recognized key issue to their name, this is a character who made a real mark within a publication that was itself a cornerstone of Spanish childhood reading. For anyone exploring the rich, often-overlooked landscape of Silver Age European comics, Espuelas is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through old Pumby issues such a rewarding adventure.
