SPIROU - Journal album, n°97 - Lot 124

SPIROU - Journal album, n°97 Dupuis, 1965. Large in-4 hardback, cloth spine, first cover illustrated in color. Journal Spirou collection corresponding to issue no. 97, in the very fine series of Dupuis hardback albums from the mid-1960s. The cover, attributed to André Franquin, features a particularly dynamic scene: the Marsupilami leaping through a lush jungle, surrounded by a succession of vignettes evoking the richness of the series published in the journal. This composition, both playful and instantly recognizable, is one of the most attractive covers in the series. The volume brings together the main heroes of Dupuis / Marcinelle's golden age - Spirou et Fantasio, Gaston, Lucky Luke, Buck Danny, Les Schtroumpfs, among others - and is part of a period much sought-after by collectors.
