Spirou Album #160

This handsome Dupuis hardcover collects a generous 676 pages of humor and adventure from the beloved Belgian weekly, making it a substantial companion for fans of Franco-Belgian comics. The cheerful cover sets a wintry tone, with two bundled-up kids — sharing a lively speech-bubble exchange — flanking a jolly snowman complete with hat, pipe, and scarf, the whole scene rendered in that warm, expressive ligne claire style the series is known for. Album #160 is a fine snapshot of Spirou at its 1981 best, brimming with the kind of all-ages storytelling that made the magazine a staple of European comics culture.
