SPIROU - Journal album, n°62 - Lot 92

SPIROU - Journal album, n°62 Dupuis, June 1957. Large in-4 hardback, red cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Highly sought-after early issue of Journal Spirou, corresponding to number 62 of the famous series of bound albums published by Dupuis. This volume includes issues no. 999 to 1008, published between June and August 1957, a period particularly emblematic of the Marcinelle school's golden age. It features the great names in Franco-Belgian comics: Franquin, Morris, Peyo, Will, Paape and Jijé, in a particularly lively period for the magazine. The highly decorative cover is a typical Franquin composition, featuring Spirou, the Marsupilami and a bustling city scene, with the famous exclamation "Elle est là! La bête! This Marsupilami iconography clearly enhances the volume's appeal to collectors. The set is part of the consistent and much-appreciated continuation of the 1956-1958 collections.
