SPIROU - Journal Collection, No. 99 - Lot 213

SPIROU - Journal Collection, No. 99 Dupuis, 1965. Large quarto hardcover, cloth-bound spine, front cover illustrated in color. A rare and charming collection from the Journal Spirou, corresponding to issue No. 99, part of the classic series of Dupuis hardcover albums. The cover, in Franquin’s instantly recognizable style, features a scene full of humor and movement, with the Marsupilami leaping into the foreground in an acrobatic pose, facing Spirou and Fantasio. This dynamic and highly graphic composition ranks among the most attractive covers of the series from the second half of the 1960s. The volume brings together, as it should, a particularly rich selection of the magazine’s publications: Spirou and Fantasio, Gaston Lagaffe, Lucky Luke, Buck Danny, The Smurfs, as well as numerous complete stories and secondary series from the Marcinelle school. With the symbolic 100th issue approaching, this volume is of particular interest to collectors seeking to build a continuous collection.
