SPIROU - Journal album, n°98 - Lot 213

SPIROU - Journal album, n°98 Dupuis, 1965. Large in-4 hardback, cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Important collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to issue no. 98, from the great classic period of Dupuis hardback albums. The cover, attributed to André Franquin, features a whimsical composition in which Spirou appears to be handling a cascading deck of cards or leaflets, in a particularly elegant and instantly recognizable graphic style. This illustration, highly representative of the spirit of the magazine, combines movement, humor and legibility, qualities that are the hallmark of covers from this period. This volume follows in the footsteps of the great collections of the mid-1960s, a period much appreciated by fans of Spirou et Fantasio, Gaston, Les Schtroumpfs, Lucky Luke and other iconic series published by Dupuis.
