SPIROU - Journal album, n°85 - Lot 114

SPIROU - Journal album, n°85 Dupuis, 1961. Large in-4 hardback, cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. A rare early collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to issue 85, from the great Franquin period. The cover, particularly amusing and highly representative of the author's graphic humor, features a street scene with a reflection in a shop window, playing on the surprise effect and the liveliness of the line. This volume belongs to the most sought-after period of Dupuis hardcover albums from the early 1960s, the heyday of Spirou et Fantasio, Marsupilami and the adventures of Comte de Champignac. Particularly sought-after when used to complete a continuous series of collections.
