Boule et Bill - Volume 10: Attention chien marrant! - Lot 58

Boule et Bill - Volume 10: Attention chien marrant! ROBA Boule et Bill - Volume 10: Attention chien marrant! Dupuis, 1981. In-4 hardback, covers illustrated in color. 1981 reprint of this tenth collection of gags from Jean Roba's iconic Boule et Bill. In a succession of tenderly humorous illustrations, the author portrays the unshakeable complicity between a little boy and his mischievous cocker spaniel. This album is representative of the series' "golden age", when Roba's strokes achieved perfect roundness and expressiveness. The situations, often rooted in an ideal everyday life in the suburbs, poetically underscore Bill's silliness, his father's patience and Boule's mischievousness. A universal comic strip that continues to seduce with its gentleness and graphic mastery. Justification page : 1976 BY ROBA AND S.A. EDITIONS JEAN DUPUIS. ISBN : 2-8001-0349-3.
