El Papus was a weekly anarchist satirical magazine which existed between 1973 and 1987. Although it was subject to various negative events, it managed to continue and became one of the most popular publications in Spain.[1]
El Papus was first published in October 1973.[2][3] The founding publisher was ELF Ediciones, a subsidiary of the La Vanguardia group which also produced another satirical magazine Barrabás.[2][4] From the 45th issue dated August 1974 Ediciones Amaika became its publisher which was established by Xavier de Echarri, an editor of the magazine, in June 1974.[2] Carlos Navarro was the sole editor of El Papus which had an anarchist political stance and contained graphic humor which covered nearly seventy percent of its pages.[2] Notable contributors included Óscar Nebreda, Iva, Ja, L'Avi, Carlos Gimenez, Gin and Ventura & Nieto.[1]
In 1976 El Papus sold more than 300,000 copies.[1] In the early period of the next year its circulation was 142,000 copies, but it reduced to 80,569 copies by the end of the year.[3] The magazine folded in 1987.[5]
