Pompeyo

Stepping out of the sun-drenched pages of Editorial Valenciana's beloved Pumby anthology, Pompeyo made their Silver Age debut in 1960, brought to life by the artist known as Palop. A fixture of Spanish comics' golden era of children's publishing, this character shares their world with a charming cast — Coque, Pumby, Becerrín, Monucho, and Quico — the kind of lively ensemble that made Pumby a treasured institution for young readers. With 14 catalogued appearances and at least one collector-significant key issue to their name, Pompeyo is a delightful discovery for anyone eager to explore the rich, often overlooked landscape of mid-century European comics.
