Editorial Bruguera was a Spanish publishing house, founded in 1910 under the name El Gato Negro by Juan Bruguera Teixidó. It was established in Barcelona, Carrer de l'Aldea, 15.

The publisher was specialized in popular literature and comics, notably thanks to the success of the magazines "TBO" (from 1917) and "Pulgarcito" (from 1921).

In 1939, its name was changed from "El Gato Negro" to "Editorial Bruguera".

"Bruguera" was one of the largest publishers of comics in Spain as, from the end of the 1940's and in the 1950's, the publisher continue to launch other comics such as "El Campeón", "Super Pulgarcito"), "Magos de la Risa", "Zipi y Zape ", "Mortadelo y Filemón". In the 1960's were published "Din Dan", "Bravo", "Gran Pulgarcito" and Franco-Belgian comics such as "Asterix" or "Blueberry",

Unfortunately, the publishing house filed for bankruptcy in June 1982.

In 1986, it was bought by "Grupo Zeta" and transformed into "Ediciones B.", a publishing house that relaunched some old "Bruguera" titles, with a "Bruguera" brand temporarily relaunched between 2006 and 2010.

Eight stories of Mandrake the Magician were published by Editorial Bruguera in three issues of their series " Pocket de Ases".
