Aventurero Almanaque

There are three special issues in this series: Almanaque 1936, Almanaque 1938 and Almanaque 1940 (size 27x19 cm except the last issue 22x16 cm.) The existence of an Almanaque 1937 is traditionally mentioned but no evidence of real publication has been found.

Although the regular collection ended in December 1938 the Almanaque 1940 was released in late 1939, perhaps with the intention of reviving the collection. However this would not happen until 1945 with a relaunched series entitled Ediciones Aventurero.
