SPIROU - Journal album, n°129 - Lot 201

SPIROU - Journal album, n°129 Dupuis, 1973. Large in-4 hardback, blue cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Very attractive collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to 129ᵉ Album du Journal, published in 1973. The particularly elegant cover features Natacha, the iconic stewardess created by Walthéry, depicted in a reading scene against a bright orange background. The modern, instantly recognizable composition gives this issue a particularly strong graphic identity. The side panel announces "768 charming pages" and "35 complete stories", while listing several of the magazine's major series: Yoko Tsuno, Les Tuniques Bleues, Sammy, Tif et Tondu, Gaston, Boule et Bill and, of course, Natacha. This issue is often better valued than average, thanks to the presence of Walthéry on the cover.
