''El Gráfico'' is a classic monthly Argentine sports magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.europaworld.com/pub/entry/ar.dir.320 )〕 The magazine was originally published as a weekly newspaper in May 1919, and then turned to a sports magazine exclusively. It has been scheduled monthly from 2002. ''El Gráfico'' is one of the most regarded sports magazines not only in Argentina but in Latin America. The magazine was nicknamed ''La Biblia del deporte'' ("The Bible of sports") due to its chronicles, notable journalists and collaborators and its photography. ==History== ''El Gráfico'' was first published on May 30, 1919〔(Preguntas frecuentes, official site )〕 by Constancio Vigil for Editorial Atlántida. Vigil, an Uruguayan citizen, had founded ''Atlántida'' magazine in 1918 with great success, but the ''Tragic Week'' in 1919 stopped the activities and he was persuaded in acquiring his own printing. With the machines and the installations ready, he founded ''El Gráfico'', then followed by ''Billiken'' (1919, a magazine for children) and a female publication ''Para Ti'' in 1922. The headquarters of the magazines is in Buenos Aires.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.publicitas.com/latinamerica/media-solutions/factsheet/mediadata/el-grafico-argentina/?PARAM1=TGOGB1#.VbnTVjDtmko )〕 In the cover of the first number of ''El Gráfico'' appeared the legend ''Ilustración Semanal Argentina'' at the bottom of the picture. Indeed, the magazine only contained photos and epigraphs which had originated its name ("The Graphic" in English) and at first the publication was not related to sports covering all sort of news and events. ''El Grafico'' became a sports magazine in 1925. The best selling era of the magazine was during the 1986 FIFA World Cup when Argentina proclaimed champion: 690.998 sold. The second place in the ranking of all-time best seller magazine is for the 1978 FIFA World Cup with 595.924. Diego Maradona was the sports man with the most appearances on the cover: 134, followed by Daniel Passarella (58) and Norberto Alonso (54).〔("Recorrida por la historia de El Gráfico" )〕 The magazine famously underlined creole style football as opposed to the British style of football that had been introduced to Argentina in the late 19th Century. It was baptised ''La Nuestra'' ("Our Own"). Researcher Eduardo Archetti stated about that: ''El Gráfico'', published by Revistas Deportivas S.A., was published weekly until April 2002 when its frequency switched to monthly.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「El Gráfico」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
