SPIROU - Journal album, n°84 - Lot 113

SPIROU - Journal album, n°84 Dupuis, 1961. Large in-4 hardback, cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. A rare early collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to issue no. 84, from the great Franquin period. The dynamic cover, on a yellow background, illustrates a fall and chase scene with highly visual humor, characteristic of Franquin's full narrative and graphic maturity. This volume is part of the most sought-after sequence of Dupuis hardcover albums from the early 1960s, a major period for Spirou et Fantasio, the Marsupilami, Champignac and the world of Zorglub. A particularly desirable copy when used to complete a continuous series of issues from this period.
