Publication history
Publication history
According to comics historian Pedro Porcel, the first booklet of El espadachín enmascarado was presented by Pablo and Manuel Gago to Editorial Valenciana around 1947, but its publication was delayed by Juan Puerto. Two years later, Manuel Gago produced a similar swashbuckling series for Ediciones Toray, El espadachín de hierro. Gago was not able to resume the original project until 1952, when Pedro Quesada took over scripting duties. The series ultimately ran for 252 issues (1952–1957). In 1981, Editorial Valenciana reissued the series.
