Catalogue information
In 1974 there was talk of publishing the fantastic French booklet "Spirou et fantasio" also in Dutch. A start was made by someone who was both in the comic publishing world and also had contact with Franquin. Publishers and Franquin himself praised the initiative, but in the end the entire project did not go ahead. Franquin showed his appreciation by complimenting the translator in the "translation manuscript" and adding a beautiful drawing. The name of the translator and therefore to whom Franquin dedicated the drawing, has been removed from the scan. A unique drawing with an incredibly fine technique of such a high level that only the very greatest can achieve. Of course, the "translation manuscript" is also incredibly unique. That combination of drawing + manuscript makes it a beautiful document. You can't get closer to Franquin and his work.
