History
The journalist and politician Manuel Láinez Cané (1852 - 1924) founded his own newspaper, "El Diario", in 1881. In 1909 "Editorial Manuel Láinez" published their first magazine, "Tit-Bits", followed by "Pucky" in 1922. Manuel Lainez's son, Norberto Láinez de la Riestra (1883 - 1955), succeeded his father in 1924.
It is believed that Manuel Vicente Raúl Láinez (Peralta Alvear) (1908 - 1954), grandson of Manuel Lainez, was responsible for the expansion of publishing in the field of comics. The expansion of the publishing began in 1932 with "El Gorrión", then with "Ra-Ta-Plán" (1935) and continue so that in the early forties Láinez almost had a magazine for every day of the week: "Tit-Bits" on Tuesdays, "El Gorrión" on Wednesdays, "Espinaca" on Thursdays, "Historietas" on Fridays and "Ra-Ta-Plan" on Saturdays.
Early fifties more titles were added: "Selecciones Graficas", "Narraciones de Ra-Ta-Plan", "Puño Fuerte" (1950), "Lanza Brava" (1951) and "Gran Bonete" (1954).
