The former Bruguera publishing house
Download date: 10/04/2024
Originally established in 1910 under the name of El Gato Negro [The Black Cat], the now defunct Editorial Bruguera was Spain’s largest publisher of comics during the 1960s and 1970s.

Free time and leisure
From ‘Capitán Trueno’ to ‘Mortadelo y Filemón’
At a time when the habit of reading was almost non-existent, Editorial Bruguera made its way into thousands of homes with children’s stories and serialised novels. Weekly comic strips, such as Pulgarcito or Tío Vivo, gradually found their place in popular culture and the characters are firmly etched in the childhood and teenage memories of millions of people.
A truly local multinational company
The relationship between the publishing house and the Coll neighbourhood, where it was established, became so close that their growth cannot be explained separately. Many Coll residents worked at Bruguera and several local neighbourhood businesses depended on the publishing house either directly or indirectly.
Unfortunately, the Bruguera giant dissolved in 1986 due to serious economic difficulties. Today, the building that housed the first workshops is home to the El Coll – La Bruguera Civic Centre, a popular centre that is fighting to keep alive the memories of a time when characters such as Zipi and Zape, Doña Urraca, Rompetechos or Superlópez were the indisputable kings of the newsagent’s kiosk.
The project to recover the historical memory of the former Bruguera publishing house is being promoted by the Gràcia district. The aim is to recover and preserve the oral and documentary heritage of its former workers and to share this heritage through the active participation of several local associations that organise exhibitions or roundtable discussions.
