Rare set of 31 Civil War period childrens punch-out set of Republican and Falange military. Children would fold them so they could stand freely and they would play mock battles. Interesting in that in some cases the child who owned the set would scratch out any Falange insignia, indicating that his family was Republican. This set is in great condition and near complete. I have only seen individual pieces offered for sale and in terrible condition generally. M

AUCA titled “Aleluyas de la Defensa de Euzkadi”. Written in Catalan, it shows the different events of the defense of the Basque country during the Civil War. It shows the children leaving the country (36), the British and French helping the Basques (38-40), the German bombardment of Guernica (33), the sinking of the Spanish destroyer Espana (34), Bilbao on the defensive (44), hoping for help from Aragon (45), the Catalans helping the Basque people (47), may the generals die for being traitors (47). It ends on a high note of the sun rising on free Spanish town. AH

Note: An auca is a graphic format popular in Spain and especially in the region of Catalonia around Barcelona. The genre dates at least to the 17th century but was banned during the 18th century before experiencing a renewal during the 19th and later the 20th centuries as a uniquely Catalonian form of expression. It takes the form of a cartoon or a comic strip, typically with 48 blocks of image and text, although some may have less. An auca is generally produced as a single sheet, but occasionally a booklet form is used. The captions tend to have some sort of consistent rhyme to assist with the flow and storytelling. Many times the term “auca” appears in the title, but another term, “aleluya,” is used, apparently interchangeably. Some sources indicate that the aleluya originated in Castile and originally included religious elements that were shed over time. Auca was a very popular form of anti-Nationalist propaganda during the Civil War.
