Spirou Album #161

The 161st album collection from Dupuis packs 676 pages of "Aventure, Humour et Rêve!" — a generous promise that captures everything the beloved Franco-Belgian anthology tradition stands for. The cover spotlights Yoko Tsuno, Roger Leloup's resourceful heroine, racing alongside a mysterious blonde woman in flowing period dress before a grand turreted château, suggesting intrigue and urgency in equal measure. It's a wonderfully evocative 1982 snapshot of the rich storytelling that made Spirou a cornerstone of European comics.
