This is a 1967 Spanish comic book highlighting famous women, in this case: Valentina Tereshkova. I last blogged about this in 2009 so it was time for an expansion. It is unusual to find a biographical comic book devoted to a single astro/cosmo naut. My Spanish is poor but the illustrations do a good job showing her background and a history of the event. She is known for being the first and youngest woman in space, having flown a solo mission on the Vostok 6 on 16 June 1963. She orbited the Earth 48 times, spent almost three days in space, and remains the only woman to have been on a solo space mission.
Mujeres Celebres ("Valentina Tereshkova", No. 77) August 1, 1967. Organizacion Editorial Novaro, S.A. 1967 (30 p.)
