SPIROU - Journal album, n°101 - Lot 11

SPIROU - Journal album, n°101 Dupuis, 1966. Large in-4 hardback, blue cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Very handsome collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to 101ᵉ Album du Journal, published as an immediate follow-up to the jubilee issue 100. The graphically fresh cover shows Spirou leaning against a tree, leafing through an album, while around him swirl various portraits and emblematic characters from the series published in the newspaper. This light, airy composition, in the pure spirit of Franquin and the Marcinelle school, perfectly illustrates the editorial richness of the magazine at its peak. This volume belongs to the most sought-after period of Dupuis collections from the 1960s, featuring the company's major series: Spirou et Fantasio, Gaston, Lucky Luke, Les Schtroumpfs, Buck Danny, as well as numerous complete stories.
