TBO (comics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about TBO, the comics magazine. For the aviation abbreviation, see Time between overhaul.
TBO was a long-running Spanish comic book magazine, published in Barcelona between 1917 and 1998.
TBO is pronounced in Spanish almost the same as "te veo", "I see you". It was so popular that tebeo is now a generic word for "comic book" in Spain.[1]
TBO was far from modern influences in seventies when European comics started to influence Spanish comic magazines. It kept its own style with short stories and ingenuous humour.
Series that appeared include:
- Altamiro de la Cueva
- Top, a dog comics series drawn by José Cabrero Arnal
- The Smurfs, as Los tebeítos. When Bruguera acquired the publishing rights, they were named Los pitufos.
- Los grandes inventos del TBO, presentados por el profesor Franz de Copenhague, intricate machines reminding of Rube Goldberg machines.
- Eustaquio Morcillón
- La familia Ulises
