SPIROU - Journal Album, n°54 - Lot 7

SPIROU - Journal Album, n°54 Dupuis, July 1955. Large in-4 hardback, red cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. A rare and sought-after early issue of Journal Spirou, corresponding to number 54 of the famous series of bound albums published by Dupuis. This volume includes issues no. 899 to 911, in order of publication, covering the period from July 7 to September 29, 1955, and is a remarkable testimony to the golden age of Franco-Belgian comics. It features the magazine's emblematic collective contents of the mid-1950s, with the great names of Dupuis and the Marcinelle school: Franquin, Jijé, Morris, Peyo, Will, Eddy Paape, as well as the major series that made the magazine's reputation. The illustrated cover, particularly decorative with its red cloth spine and animated car scene, remains highly emblematic of Spirou collections from this period. A sought-after item for fans of old Dupuis collections, collectors of bound Spirou and bibliophiles specializing in post-war Belgian comics.
