Spirous äventyr #3

This 1975 Swedish collection brings together the irrepressible Spirou in "Skuggan av Z," with André Franquin both writing and drawing the issue in his signature kinetic style. Franquin's cover art — unavailable for preview here — would have showcased the kind of expressive, lively linework that made his work on this series so enduring. With Greg and Sture Hegerfors among the writers and Jidéhem adding inks to the interior pages, this Carlsen/if edition offers Swedish readers a richly collaborative slice of classic Franco-Belgian comics adventure.
