As the first issue has an ad for Spirit #9, one might think that the first issue with "Tim Tyler's Luck" was published in February. But the Spirit series was probably published at the end of each month, so Spirit #9 was in the shops for most of March - and then the first issue was probably published in March 1976.
The albums marked in green in the table above all have an advertisement for the Supercomics Garbo series. According to this ad, the Supercomics Garbo series has a weekly ''(semanalmente)'' release. For twelve months there is an advertisement for this series mentioning that this is a weekly release. This would have given more than 48 releases but there are only 24. A likely explanation for this is that the series started and ended as a monthly publication. And that the release frequency was weekly only for a short time.
Another explanation could be that all of Garbo's releases have the label "Supercomics Garbo". However, the album releases have a square label with "Supercomics Garbo" on the cover and with a separate series name like "Rufus", "Vampus" and on. This comic book series has a round label with "Supercomics Garbo" on the cover and does not have a separate series name, except that the ''title'' reflects the figure inside. If one were to see "Supercomics Garbo" as a generic title for all Garbo's releases, it could be true that an album or comic book was released every week. But this does not explain that only the figures in this specific series are mentioned in the ad, as a weekly release.

As the first issue has an ad for Spirit #9, one might think that the first issue with "Tim Tyler's Luck" was published in February. But the Spirit series was probably published at the end of each month, so Spirit #9 was in the shops for most of March - and then the first issue was probably published in March 1976.

The albums marked in green in the table above all have an advertisement for the Supercomics Garbo series. According to this ad, the Supercomics Garbo series has a weekly (semanalmente) release. For twelve months there is an advertisement for this series mentioning that this is a weekly release. This would have given more than 48 releases but there are only 24. A likely explanation for this is that the series started and ended as a monthly publication. And that the release frequency was weekly only for a short time.

Another explanation could be that all of Garbo's releases have the label "Supercomics Garbo". However, the album releases have a square label with "Supercomics Garbo" on the cover and with a separate series name like "Rufus", "Vampus" and on. This comic book series has a round label with "Supercomics Garbo" on the cover and does not have a separate series name, except that the title reflects the figure inside. If one were to see "Supercomics Garbo" as a generic title for all Garbo's releases, it could be true that an album or comic book was released every week.
