Les aventures de Spirou et Fantasio - Le dictateur et le champignon #[nn]

This is a rare treat for fans of the beloved Belgian duo — a facsimile edition presenting Franquin's original ink artwork for Le Dictateur et le Champignon, complete with pencil annotations and layout notes still visible on the page. The cover's striking pen-and-ink scene places Spirou and Fantasio in what appears to be a Latin American street setting, dressed in military-style uniforms and accompanied by a leashed monkey and a small creature at their feet, with a parrot perched on a pedestal above them and a bustling town backdrop of shops and a truck labeled "Pulques Finos." Published by Dupuis in 2019, this edition offers an intimate window into Franquin's creative process, letting readers study the master cartoonist's hand at unusually close range.
