From the Newsstand to the Display Case, the Comics Magazine Changes Place
The story does not begin in the 1980s. An overview of comic exhibitions recalls that TBO appeared at newsstands in 1917 and that the publication eventually gave the Spanish word tebeo its popular association with comics. An exhibition devoted to Spanish comics from 1917 to 1977 brought together publications and original drawings in both chronological and thematic displays. This context reminds us that the magazine was not an accidental wrapper for stories: mastheads and individual issues form part of the medium’s historical record.
