Spanish Civil War /History
SCW 033Chicos was a weekly Spanish childrens comic that was published early in the Franco regime and lasted until 1955. It was first publish on 23 February 1938, in San Sebastian , a city where production of comics was centered in the "national zone" during the civil war . Its editor and owner was Juan Baygual and its artistic and literary director was Gil Roesset Consuelo. Its format was very similar to the Flechas y Pelayos but with fewer pages and a more affordable price (10 cents instead of 25). On November 15 of that year, the magazine became the property of the National Delegation of Press and Propaganda. However, Chicos was never a propaganda magazine (although, obviously, it had to remain within the dominant ideology). Due to its good relations with the Franco regime it had no trouble getting the quota of paper required to publish weekly. The collection I have covers the period 1942-1945. M

COMPLETE COLLECTIONS OF SPANISH TRADE CARDS ON THE RIF WAR (1921-1926). The Rif War, also called the Second Moroccan War, was fought from 1921-1926 between Spain (later assisted by France) and the Berbers of the Rif mountainous region. Led by Abd al-Karim, the Rifs at first defeated the Spanish forces by using guerrilla tactics and captured European weapons. After France's entry into the conflict and the massive landing of Spanish troops at Al Hoceima, al-Karim surrendered to the French and went to exile. Despite victory, controversy in Spain over the conduct of the war led to a military coup by General Miguel Primo de Rivera in 1923, the end of the Spanish monarchy in 1931 and foreshadowed the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39. I am pleased to offer 6 different sets of Spanish chocolate cards on this war. They were likely issued during the brief Republican period because although there are images of the Spanish Legion, there are no images of Franco.
