Cuando el comics es arte

A Spanish anthology series published by Toutain Editor from 1976 to 1982, Cuando el comics es arte ran for just five oversized issues, each a showcase of international comic art. The series is most closely associated with its editor, Javier Coma, who curated a mix of European and American masters. It matters as a landmark publication that treated the medium as fine art, presenting work from creators like Moebius, Robert Crumb, and Milton Caniff in a lavish, gallery-like format that elevated the perception of comics in Spain.
