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.
Its editorâÂÂinâÂÂchief was Jorge Gubern Ribalta.
Lily took over the place in Bruguera's comics line left vacant by the discontinued magazines Sissi and Blanca, 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.
During its first year, the magazine reached an average circulation of 42,430 copies per issue.
In 1976, Bruguera launched the spin-off title Super Lily.
Lily was published in vertical format with 20 pages and sold for 5 pesetas. It avoided the sentimental themes that had dominated earlier girlsâ comics and instead emphasized action and humor.
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:
Tino Regueira suggests that its enduring success may be explained by the close connection it maintained with its readers.
