review:
'Spirou: The Diary of a Naive Young Man' with art and story by Emile Bravo is a new story of a classic character by a new artist.
Spirou is an orphan who works as a bellboy in a hotel. He heads up sports with other boys and has a pet squirrel. The hotel job keeps him busy and the hotel is full of interesting people. There is a famous boxer and a famous fashion designer having an affair. There is also a negotiation between a Nazi and some folks from Poland. The outcome of these talks could mean war is coming, but could it come for Belgium as well?
It's done in a clever style. There are TinTin jokes, but they run a bit thin. Spirou is pretty naive about a lot of things in this comic, so the title fits well. I liked the adventure and humor of this title.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
