SPIROU - Journal album, n°68 - Lot 97

SPIROU - Journal album, n°68 Dupuis, 1958. Large in-4 hardback, red cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. A very handsome early collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to number 68 of the famous series of bound albums published by Dupuis. This volume includes issues no. 1060 to 1069, published in 1958, at the heart of the Marcinelle school's most sought-after period. It features the great names of Dupuis: Franquin, Morris, Peyo, Will and Roba, in a period that will be emblematic for fans of the first collections. The particularly spectacular cover features Spirou, Fantasio and the Marsupilami in a large-scale mountain scene, with the caption: "Attention Spirou! We're throwing ourselves into the lion's den!" This dynamic, instantly recognizable illustration by Franquin is one of the most decorative covers in the series.
