Pumby

Pumby is a cheerful anthropomorphic cat created for the Spanish publisher Editorial Valenciana, debuting in 1955 as the star of his own long-running children's comic magazine. His adventures follow lighthearted, humorous situations aimed at young readers.

Few characters from mid-century Spanish comics have left as charming a footprint as Pumby, who bounded onto the scene in 1955 with their very own self-titled series from Editorial Valenciana — a debut so confident it launched what would become 246 catalogued appearances and an impressive 16 key issues that collectors still seek out today. Created by Palop, this Golden Age gem ran through the early 1960s in the pages of Pumby, sharing those adventures with a delightful cast including El Lobo, Caperucita Encarnada, Becerrín, Monucho, and Trompy. For fans of classic European comics and the golden era of Spanish sequential art, Pumby represents exactly the kind of beloved, enduring character that rewards deeper discovery.
