Le Petit Spirou - Tome 5 : "Merci" qui ? TOME - JANRY Le Petit Spirou - Volume 5: "Merci" qui? Dupuis, 1994. In-4 hardback, boards illustrated in color. Original 1994 edition for this fifth installment of Petit Spirou's antics. Philippe Tome (script) and Janry (drawing) continue to explore the future bellboy's childhood with irreverent humor. From Monsieur Mégot's physical education lessons to Grand-Papy's advice and his first anatomical curiosities, the album confirms the phenomenal success of this spin-off series. Janry's remarkably supple and expressive line perfectly serves a narrative that plays on nostalgia and childish transgression. This album is preceded by the story "La grise mine de Monsieur Mégot". Title page and credits : Scribbles: Tome. Scribbles: Janry. Scribbles (colors): Stéphane De Becker. Additional childishness: Dan Verlinden.

A discreet handwritten signature or note on the title page. A classic of irreverent 90s humor.
