SPIROU - Journal album, n°57 - Lot 87

SPIROU - Journal album, n°57 Dupuis, April 1956. Large in-4 hardback, gray cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. A rare and sought-after early collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to number 57 of the prestigious series of bound albums published by Dupuis. This volume includes issues no. 938 to 950, covering the period from April 5 to June 28, 1956, at the heart of the newspaper's golden age. It is a remarkable testimony to French-Belgian comics in the 1950s, with contributions from the great figures of the Marcinelle school, including Franquin, Morris, Peyo, Jijé, Will and Paape. The particularly decorative cover shows Spirou at the wheel of an imposing blue truck, a scene emblematic of the Dupuis graphic imagination of this period. A sought-after collection for fans of vintage Spirou, collectors of Dupuis bindings and bibliophiles specializing in post-war Belgian comics. Legal deposit: April 1956.
