Catalogue information
Spirou No. 1000 20th volume, 13-06-1957. The thousandth issue is actually Spirou magazine. The numbers 875 to 976 of Spirou have been skipped (so that the numbering could be aligned with Spirou). The weekly magazine consists of 40 pages and a 12-page supplement. You can fold this appendix into two booklets of 16 pages each. Hence the statement on the cover: '40 pages + 16 pages + 16 pages'. For the thousandth issue of Spirou of March 13, 1957, Franquin manages to make a cover drawing with 999 Spirou heads. The thousandth cup is the odd one out: Guust Flater. He's been working on it for three months. To please the colorists, the cups may remain in black and white. In this same issue 1000, after nine months of strange appearances, in separate drawings, a first gag appears on a full page by Guust Flater. Also the futuristic short story 'The adventures of Spirou 2000'. It is signed niuqnarF.
