See how many of you posers can get this one.

Some of the guesses seem like magazines, and others like the Belgium book are comics. The latter seems like the winner.

Dell Four Color was my immediate first response as well.

 

I think there are some breaks in the numbering with this one.

The issues of Spirou that I have are slightly more text features than comics. About 1/3 of the comics are translations of American Sunday adventure comic strips. Even the original comics features are told 1 or 2 pages at a time, taking 6 months to complete a story that would later be collected in album format. Is Spirou a comic book or a tabloid with some comics in it?
