Fans of the Marcinelle School of Franco-Belgian big-foot bande dessinee and its contemporary practitioners, will enjoy this monograph.
This writer-artist team created 14 Spirou et Fantasio albums as well as the character and series Le Petit Spirou. (Their pseudonyms are intended as a pun on Tom and Jerry.)
From the publisher:
This "Life in Drawings" appears on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the publication of "Virus, the first Spirou & Fantasio by Tome & Janry, in the journal Spirou (17-06-1982).
Like André Franquin, Tome & Janry were the authors who most nourished the universe of Spirou & Fantasio. By anchoring the legendary series in their time, their duo did more than deepen the psychology of the characters they inherited. Better still, they created Petit Spirou, the paper avatar that best suits them. This first artbook dedicated to their work presents more than 200 original plates scanned and reproduced with care.
Resume:
Cette Vie en dessins paraît à l'occasion du quarantième anniversaire de la publication de « Virus », le premier Spirou & Fantasio de Tome & Janry, dans le journal Spirou (17-06-1982).
À l'image d'André Franquin, Tome & Janry ont été les auteurs qui ont le plus nourri l'univers de Spirou & Fantasio. En ancrant la légendaire série dans leur époque, leur duo a fait plus qu'approfondir la psychologie des personnages dont ils ont hérité. Mieux, ils ont créé le Petit Spirou, l'avatar de papier qui leur correspond le mieux. Ce premier beau-livre dédié à leur travail présente plus de 200 planches originales scannées et reproduites avec soin. Le Grand et le Petit Spirou s'y disputent la vedette. Le triomphe du dessin au service d'une narration exemplaire signée Tome & Janry, la machine à rire et à rêver.
