Mały Sprytek #2

The second volume of Mały Sprytek — the Polish edition of the beloved Petit Spirou series — arrives from Egmont Polska in 2001 with a cover by Janry that perfectly captures the strip's cheeky spirit: our freckled, red-haired hero sits at a school desk with a pencil in hand, wearing his little cap and an expression of wide-eyed mischief, while a large, looming adult figure peers down at him from behind. Titled "Dać ci mój palec?", this second issue promises the kind of classroom scheming and good-natured trouble that makes Sprytek such an endearing young scamp. A fun pick for fans of Franco-Belgian humor in its Polish incarnation.
