Vértice (Spanish; Castilian: Vertex) was a monthly Falangist magazine published in Spain, between 1937 and 1946. Its subtitle was Revista nacional de la Falange.[1] From late 1937 its subtitle was redesigned as Revista nacional de Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las J.O.N.S.[1] [2] The magazine was one of the early propaganda publications which supported the rule of Francisco Franco.[3]
Vértice was started in San Sebastian in April 1937 during the Civil War and came out monthly.[2] It was affiliated with the FET y de las JONS, also known as the Falange. Its publisher was Nueva Editorial S.A.[1] The magazine had a large format, 355×280mm.[4]
Some of its contributors were Federico de Urrutia, Dionisio Ridruejo, Carmen de Icaza, Martín Almagro Gorbea, José María Usandizaga and Benito Perojo.[4] Surrealist painter José Caballero also contributed to Vértice.[5] From April 1938 Manuel Halcón became its director, and Tono or Antonio Lara de Gavilán its artistic director.[4] The latter held the post until December 1938[4] when Miguel Mihura began to work as its artistic director.[1] Halcón edited the magazine until April 1939 and was replaced by Samuel Ros as director.[4] José María Alfaro succeeded Ros in the post.[1] The headquarters of the magazine moved to Madrid in December 1939.[4] The last issue was no.83 dated 1946.[2]
