Lily was a women's magazine published in Spain by Editorial Bruguera between 1970 and 1985. It was one of the last successful comic books (tebeos) aimed at young girls in its domestic market.[1]
Its editor‑in‑chief was Jorge Gubern Ribalta.[2]
Lily took over the place in Bruguera's comics line left vacant by the discontinued magazines Sissi and Blanca,[1] to such an extent that its first issue was numbered 444, directly continuing the numbering from the last issue of Sissi, which had ended with issue 443 in 1967.[3]
During its first year, the magazine reached an average circulation of 42,430 copies per issue.[4]
In 1976, Bruguera launched the spin-off title Super Lily.[5]
Features
Lily was published in vertical format with 20 pages and sold for 5 pesetas.[6] It avoided the sentimental themes that had dominated earlier girls’ comics and instead emphasized action and humor.[1]
In addition to joke sections, horoscopes, music, film and television news, and puzzles, it included the following comic series, many of them from British syndication:[7]
