History

[edit]

Its first edition dates from December 22, 2001, its first period consisting of 19 issues, the last of which is dated December 30, 2005. In 2006 Astiberri Ediciones published a 304-page book titled Tebeosfera, compiling essays previously published on the website, accompanied by other unpublished pieces written for the occasion.

On July 4, 2008, it began a second period, from which 14 issues appeared, also transforming into a database on the medium called the Gran catálogo de la historieta,[10] initially covering the period 1880–1992 and later expanded, being continually updated since. It currently has more than 500,000 entries (around 40,000 authors, 40,000 collections, and 480,000 catalogued issues),[11] and close to 9,500 theoretical works.[12]

In 2009 Tebeosfera was established as an independent nonprofit cultural association under the name Asociación Cultural Tebeosfera (ACyT), with the aim of promoting the study and cataloguing of comics, calling on collectors, theorists, enthusiasts, and other interested parties to join it, in order to continue the work of recovering the country's comics-related heritage.[13]

Since 2014 the Tebeosfera team has also published the Informe Tebeosfera,[14] an annual statistical report on the comics industry in Spain that soon became the only one of its kind in Europe, and is today an essential tool for understanding the reality of the industry.

In September 2016, a new design of the Tebeosfera.com website was unveiled,[15] with new features such as the "Mi.Tebeosfera" section, which facilitates interaction with other users and allows the assembly of online comic collections; an improvement to the Great Catalogue, which expanded its scope to other related fields of graphic culture such as illustration, the popular novel, games, and film; and also a new stage of the magazine Tebeosfera, its third period, which from that point on appeared quarterly, until 2019, when, by decision of the General Assembly of members, its frequency was changed to every four months.
