Barrabás was a weekly graphical humor and political satirical magazine focusing on football news published in Barcelona between 1972 and 1977.
Barrabás was launched in Barcelona on 3 October 1972 as a weekly.[1] The magazine was established by Josep Llario who also started other titles such as Por Favor and Interviú.[2] Its founding publisher was Elf Ediciones which produced El Papus, too.[3] The company was part of the La Vanguardia Española group headed by Javier Godó Muntañola.[1] From the issue 124 the publisher became the TISA company.[4]
The magazine like other satirical titles of the period presented news on current events through cartoons, and its focus was on football.[1] Major cartoonists included Ivà (Ramón Tosas) and Óscar Nebreda.[1] The circulation of Barrabás was nearly 113,450 copies from February 1973.[1]
The magazine began to decline in August 1976 and folded in July 1977.[1]
