Boiled down to a folded page featuring Spirou, Fantasio and SPIP, the \"newspaper\" was signed by \"Al,\" a disciple of Gus Bofa and jige. In each of the 41 issues of this clandestine Journal de Spirou, Spirou, Fantasio and Spip share the daily life of Brussels: Rationing, bombing, German repression... All these serious issues that were the lives of adults and children during the occupation are present in these drawings, often caustic, always rebellious, which are real gems for readers today. Unseen for decades, these leaflets were found by a descendant of the artist, and collected in this book, a moving witness of life under the occupation, but also invigorating proof of the incredible strength of humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother beautiful exercise in nostalgia by Al Severin. It is all utterly believable, but it is actually a false mythology, for the entire work was created by Severin! Severin is a Belgian artist whose work is a wonderful throwback to an earlier era. His work has a surplus of charm and wit and his relaxed ink brushwork evokes Frank Godwin, Gordon Grant, and other 1930s illustrators. This is a showcase of his incredible and rarely seen color work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe majority of Severin's work for the last two decades has only been published in limited editions--often of a hundred copies or less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLa description de l'éditeur:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"\u003eInterdit de publication par les Allemands en 1943, Le Journal de Spirou continua pourtant d'être produit et distribué clandestinement dans les rues de Bruxelles. Se résumant à une page pliée mettant en scène Spirou, Fantasio et Spip, le \"journal\" était signé par le dessinateur Al, un émule de Gus Bofa et de Jigé. Se procurer alors ce Journal de Spirou distribué sous le manteau s'apparentait à une véritable chasse au trésor : sur chaque dessin étaient imprimés, codés, la date et le lieu de distribution du numéro suivant. Dans chacun des 41 numéros de ce Journal de Spirou clandestin, Spirou, Fantasio et Spip partagent le quotidien des Bruxellois. Rationnement, systèmes D, bombardements, répression allemande... Tous ces sujets graves qui faisaient le quotidien des adultes et des enfants sous l'Occupation sont présents dans ces dessins, souvent caustiques, toujours frondeurs, qui constituent de véritables petits bijoux pour le lecteur d'aujourd'hui. Introuvables depuis des décennies, ces tracts ont été confié par un des descendants du dessinateur aux Éditions Dupuis, qui les ont réunis dans cet ouvrage, témoin émouvant de la vie sous l'Occupation, mais également preuve revigorante de l'incroyable force de l'humour.Une édition augmentée d'une quinzaine de dessins inédits!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dupuis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47357760471338,"sku":"39795","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/15A64BF3-5A20-4FCE-974F-6E99B80742E3.jpg?v=1780442985","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/spirou-sous-le-manteau-new-edition","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
