ABC was founded in Madrid in January 1903 by Torcuato Luca de Tena y Álvarez-Ossorio and published by Prensa Española, and in October of 1929 the Seville edition began publication. Over the years, 11 different editions have existed, although Madrid and Seville are the primary two.

Shortly after the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War, ABC Madrid was seized by the republican government, and the newspaper changed its politics to support the Republicans. ABC Sevilla, on the other hand, was supportive of the Nationalists. After the war ended, ABC Madrid was given back to its original owners by Franco, under whom ABC became the best-selling newspaper in Spain. As late as 2005, it was still the third-best-selling newspaper in Spain, and the oldest in Madrid. Publication continues to this day.

Many of the issues have bold photographic or illustrated covers, some with photocollage, while many of the later issues have very few or no illustrations. An important publication providing a Nationalist perspective from the critical years of the Spanish Civil War. Scarce institutionally.
