Spirou Album #211

A cheerful bouquet of balloon portraits says it all — this 211th collected album from Dupuis gathers the beloved cast of the Spirou universe in one vibrant package. The cover sets a warm, playful tone, with a wizened old gentleman in a yellow raincoat presenting a cluster of balloons, each one featuring a familiar cartoon face, while two youngsters look on with delight. A fine 1992 snapshot of Franco-Belgian comics at their most charming and inviting.
