The great cold belt. - Lot 175

The great cold belt. NIC and CAUVIN La ceinture du grand froid. Dupuis, 1991. In-4 hardback, boards illustrated in color. 1991 reprint of this thirtieth volume in the adventures of Spirou and Fantasio. This album marks the short period during which the series was entrusted to the duo Nic Broca (drawing) and Raoul Cauvin (script). The story takes our heroes on a polar adventure aboard a ship, blending Cauvin's characteristic humor with a rounder graphic style than their predecessors. Although this period is sometimes less highlighted than the Franquin or Tome & Janry cycles, it offers dynamic, accessible stories, representative of the evolution of the series in the '80s. Justification page : Legal deposit: July 1991. 1983 by Broca, Cauvin and Editions Dupuis. ISBN 2-8001-0977-7. Printed in Belgium. Second plate: gallery of published titles, ending with issue 42 (Spirou à Moscou), confirming the print run in the early 90s. Copy in good condition. Solid paperboard. Clean boards with fresh colors, despite very slight wear to corners and headpieces. Interior perfectly clean and complete. Note an old price label on the second cover, lower right. An interesting volume to complete the complete history of the Spirou saga.
