Eduardo Comín Colomer

Eduardo Comín Colomer (1908–1975) was a Spanish Catholic essayist and journalist. He was known for his anti-Masonic and anticommunist views.

Education and career

Eduardo Comín Colomer was a police officer. There is a fund of books from his collection on the Spanish Civil War and Freemasonry at the National Library of Spain.

Colomer worked as a journalist at a young age, obtaining his qualifications at the Official School of Journalism in Madrid in 1949. He was a correspondent, editor and contributor to numerous Spanish newspapers.

He belonged to the Police Force, becoming director of its School. His membership in this body allowed him privileged access to reports, documents and files, so much so that one of the important documentary sources available to the National Library of Spain is specifically Fondo Comin (Comín Fund), bequeathed by his widow in 1975 and consists of more than 15,000 documents, including books and pamphlets, mostly relating to the Second Republic, the Civil War and Freemasonry.
