Studio Delu. (1976) – Spirou and the Citroën 5HP

Shadow Frame 27 × 27 cm – Collection The Travels of the Imaginary

Through this original creation, Studio Delu revisits one of the most emblematic vehicles from the Spirou and Fantasio universe: the famous yellow Citroën 5HP imagined by André Franquin in the album Spirou and the Heirs.

Torn from the comic book page to take its place in the space of the frame, this small legendary car leaves the printed narrative and becomes a true prop on stage. The composition pairs an original excerpt from the album with a three-dimensional reproduction of the vehicle, creating a dialogue between narration and object.

This artwork evokes the inventiveness, humor, and adventurous spirit that characterize the early great Spirou stories. Through the highlighting of this memorable sequence, Studio Delu transforms a reading memory into a visual experience, balancing nostalgia and homage to the heritage of Franco-Belgian comics.

By associating comic art, volume, and staging, Studio Delu continues its exploration of the great figures of European popular culture and their place in our collective memory.
