Details

October 13, 1955 A few weeks before the official start of the new magazine Sprint, two announcements appear in the weekly magazine Spirou, of which the first in issue 810. In a one-page comic by Franquin, Fantasia seems very mysterious what will happen next week. The second (text) promotion page appears in number 811. In fact, they are introductions to the new center pages of Spirou, in that form a direct predecessor of Sprint. It appears five times as a separate appendix in Spirou numbers 812 to 816 and has at the top the text 'Our club: The friends of the adventure'. It is therefore also referred to as Spirou Club Magazine by collectors, usually referred to as zero numbers of Sprint (Risque-Tout) in French reference works. It is an A2 sheet of newsprint, folded in two times to A4, so that it fits in the sheet. It still sticks out slightly, because Spirou itself is smaller in size. This A4 sheet must be completely unfolded to create a kind of newspaper, but printed on both sides from one sheet (WxH = 40 x 58.3 cm.). Spirou number 811 still appeared on 24 pages, on the cover of number 812 is proudly referred to as appearing on 32 pages. In the weekly magazine itself, the story from page 12 is continued on page 21. Pages 13 to 20 are the theoretical eight that form the supplement. This makes it look like (if you the page numbers in the weekly magazine does not count) whether a weekly magazine number 812 to 815 is also complete if the appendix is missing! The insert of number 816 has the page numbers 25- 32 (Spirou himself is now numbered again from 1-24). Mostly this last club magazine is brilliant with the “Sprint promotion” printed on the back. Just like in the previous four, the super competition Make a travel around the world. This would continue into Sprint issue 35. Readers are invited to use photos, articles and drawings to make an active contribution to the magazine, with a reporter card as a reward. Source: Brabant Strip Magazine no. 183, 2010 (no. 1628001).
