can say that Valencian cartoon begins with the supplement of Mercantil Valenciano "The Boys" that first appeared in 1929.
we talk about the Valencian School, once ended the Civil War, with the launch of the Editorial Valenciana - founded in 1932 by Juan Bautista Puerto Belda - in 1941 with great success releasing notebooks adventures Roberto Alcazar and Peer, and in 1943, the Mask of The Warrior, also the magazine Louie, later it was Mariló and later, in 1955, which were followed Pumby other publications such as The Little Fighter, The Stone Man , Command, Milton The Corsair, Super Pumby and many others. Chain was instrumental in the recruitment successes, as artistic director, Jose Soriano Izquierdo.

enters the fray in 1951 the Editorial Maga, which is articulated around the figure of Manuel Gago, which is fundamental for the consolidation of the so-called School of Comic Valenciana, providing series of true success: El Pistolero Justiciero, Pacho Dynamite, Little Pantera Negra, Toni and Anita, Apache etc. Maga hold until 1965.
Both worked (in one or other or both) authors of the stature of Wall Pertegás, Eduardo Vañó, Manuel Gago, Miguel Quesada, Jose Ortiz and Leopoldo, E. Segrelles, Luis Bermejo, Jose Grau, José Luis Macías, Alacreu González, Vicente Ramos, Matías Alonso, Ambrose Palmer, Karpa, Palop, Serafin, Alamar, Liceras, José Sanchis, Carbó, Göreme, Sifre, Edgar, Nin, Freja, Castle and the rapporteur of the table: Red Chamber, Lanzon, Marcet and Cerdan and others. The School also included writers like Federico Amorós, Vicente Tortajada, and Pedro Pablo Gago Quesada.
At that time, professionals often work without contracts, without social security and no recognition of copyright as claims occur, all this was to add a tightening of censorship (banning display of weapons in the comics) and the staging of other leisure facilities such as television, so the comic book industry is in crisis and publishers begin to lose the weight they had.
publishers in an attempt to save themselves, take to the reissues fail with few exceptions, such as Valencia Editorial putting on sale a new collection, that of The Righteous Black (1965) by Antonio Guerrero having some success. While attempts are made to foreign authors graphic novels that end up not working. Even if there is something that also has a moderate success, and is the publication of the magazine portrait of Roberto Alcazar and Pedrin, 32 pages in two-tone with Roberto adventures and drawn by comic Vañó Lanzón loose, Vicente Muñoz, Ambrose, Edgar, Palop et al.

In the seventies there was an attempt to save the dishes retain some collections, reissues and turning once again to foreign material, but not enough.
There is a time when professionals are beginning to jump ship and diagrams shown previously kept out of place back in 1980, in spite of further attempts to keep filling the pages Valenciana to spray and pray, and reissuing the accumulated elsewhere in its vast archives and also using new artists with little experience. At that time begins the dispute of the authors against Valencia Editorial defending their rights, which give the lace ends to that Editorial is forced to close in 1985.
