SPIROU - Journal Album, No. 98 - Lot 212

SPIROU - Journal Album, No. 98 Dupuis, 1965. Large quarto hardcover, cloth-bound spine, front cover illustrated in color. An important collection from the *Journal Spirou*, corresponding to issue No. 98, from the golden age of Dupuis’s hardcover albums. The cover, attributed to André Franquin, features a whimsical composition in which Spirou appears to be handling a deck of cards or a cascade of flying sheets of paper, rendered in a particularly elegant and instantly recognizable style. This illustration, highly representative of the magazine’s spirit, combines movement, humor, and clarity—qualities that make the covers of this era so charming. This volume follows in the tradition of the major collections from the mid-1960s, a period much loved by fans of Spirou and Fantasio, Gaston, The Smurfs, Lucky Luke, and other iconic series published by Dupuis.
