Supercomics Garbo - Historias gráficas para jóvenes was a Spanish publication dedicated to three different comic charcters.
Issue overview
Regular series
This series alternates between issues with "Tim Tyler's Luck" by Lyman Young, "Mandrake the Magician" by Lee Falk and Fred Fredericks and "Secret Agent Corrigan" by Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson.
Each issue has 40 pages printed in b/w, released with no publication date printed on the cover or inside. Most of the issues have an ad on the back cover for the next issue of this series, also the 24th (and last issue).
The release frequency of the series
The first eight issues have on the inner covers ads for some of Garbo's other series, like: issue 1 - Spirit #9, issue 2 - Rufus #35 and Vampirelle #17, issue 3 - Vampus #56, issue 4 - Spirit #10, issue 5 - Rufus #36 and Vampus #57, issue 6 - Spirit #12 and Famosos Monsters del Cine #14, issue 7 - Rufus #37 and Vampus #58, issue 8 - Rufus #38 and Vampus #59.
These other series from Garbo were published monthly and we can use information from Tebeosfera[1] to set up an overview for the years 1976 and 1977 (eg. feb, 1976 to may 1977).
