Spain has a long comics tradition (historietas) with influential creators (e.g., Francisco Ibáñez, Jan, Mauro Entrialgo…) and respected domestic magazines and publishers that helped shape European comics culture. Spanish publishers (Norma, Planeta DeAgostini, Astiberri, etc.) produce wide catalogs in Spanish and translations of US, European and Japanese works, supporting a robust retail and collector scene. Cities like Barcelona and Madrid host many specialist shops and distributors known to international collectors for back-issues, rare editions and imported manga/US comics.
