Will - Lot 51

Will WILL ISABELLE Dupuis Original announcement board for story "Le Sortilège des Gâtines", published in Le Journal de Spirou no. 2814, March 18, 1992. Signed. India ink on paper 36.5 × 46.8 cm (14.37 × 18.43 in.) This is another fine introductory plate for the series, allowing the authors to introduce their characters, which is useful for finding one's way around, but not only. Yvan Delporte, scriptwriter and former typographer at the Dupuis printing works, shows off his talent for writing and his knowledge of the French language. There are also portraits of Will and Delporte. The latter has now left Dupuis and freelances for various authors, mainly Peyo and his Smurfs. His work table is overrun with books and a big, bulky, old-fashioned computer!
