El Cid

Ediciones Galaor launched this Spanish comic series in 1968, adapting the legendary 11th-century warrior Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar. Over five issues, the strip brought the epic of El Cid to a new generation, with vivid artwork and a historical-adventure tone that set it apart from the superhero comics dominating the market. The series remains a notable example of Spain's vibrant mid-century comic scene, showcasing the publisher's commitment to national heroes and folklore.
