SPIROU - Journal album, n°96 - Lot 123

SPIROU - Journal album, n°96 Dupuis, April 1965. Large in-4 hardback, gray cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Important collection from Journal Spirou, corresponding to issue no. 96, comprising issues no. 1395 to no. 1407. The cover, particularly evocative of the series' whimsical universe, features Spirou, Spip and the Marsupilami in a mysterious nocturnal scene around a vehicle and strange light phenomena. This illustration, in the great tradition of the Dupuis school, reflects all the narrative vivacity of the Franquin period. This volume belongs to the fine series of hardback collections from the mid-1960s, much appreciated by collectors for their iconography and rich content. It brings together several of the newspaper's major series at a particularly sought-after period.
