Le Journal de Spirou - 1938-1988 - Cinquante ans d'histoire(s) #[nn]

Marking half a century of one of Belgium's most beloved weekly anthologies, this 1988 Dupuis commemorative volume celebrates fifty years of Le Journal de Spirou with fitting pride. The cover sets the tone beautifully — the cheerful, round-faced Spirou himself, rendered in his classic red bellhop uniform and pillbox cap, beams out from a cool steel-blue background with that irresistible grin. It's a fittingly simple and affectionate tribute to the little character whose name graced the masthead for five decades of Franco-Belgian comics history.
