Spirou & Fantasio Vol. 6: In Moscow - Comics by comiXology The series, which has been running sinceshares many characteristics with other European humorous adventure comics like The Adventures of Tintin and Asterix. It has been written and drawn by a succession of artists. Spirou and Fantasio are the series' main characters, two adventurous journalists who run into fantastic adventures, aided by Spirou's pet squirrel Spip and their inventor friend the Count of Champignac. Spirou the name means "squirrel" lit. Adding to the difficulties of magazine publication that came with the outbreak of World War IIVelter joined the army effort, and his wife Blanche Dumoulin, using the pen name Davine, continued the work on the Spirou strip, with the aid of the young Belgian artist Luc Lafnet. Franquin developed the strip from single gags and short serials into long adventures with complex plots, and is usually considered as the definitive author of the strip. He introduced a large gallery of recurring characters, notably the Count de Champignacelderly scientist and inventor; the buffoonish mad scientist Zorglub ; Fantasio's cousin and aspiring dictator Zantafio ; and the journalist Seccotinea rare instance of a major female character in Franco-Belgian comics of this period. One Franquin creation that went on to develop a life of its own was the Marsupilamia fictional monkey-like creature with a tremendously long prehensile tail. In the series, it is adopted by the duo and follows them everywhere they go. Marsupilamis in the wild take centre stage briefly in Le nid des Marsupilamis which presents Seccotine's documentary featuring a family in their natural habitat, the jungles of the fictitious South American state Palombia. As in some of his later series Bruno BrazilBernard PrinceGreg staged his stories in a realistic geopolitical context. Le prisonnier du Bouddha is set in mainland Chinawith veiled references made to the Cold War. As for QRN sur Bretzelburgit takes place in two imaginary European countries which bring to mind pre- reunification Germany. One side effect of this is that the Marsupilami would only appear in one last story, Le faiseur d'or. This is because Franquin decided to retain the rights to that character; all the other characters remained the property of the publisher. Only in the s did the Marsupilami reappear in its own series, and later television cartoon and videogame. Fournier authored nine books in the series, which saw Spirou evolve into a more modern character. However, at the end of the s Fournier's pace began to slow down and the publisher, Dupuis, sought new authors to replace him. For a time, three separate teams worked on concurrent stories. Nic Broca art and Raoul Cauvin writing took on Fournier's lead without adding much to the characters. Strangely, the authors were not allowed by the publisher to use any of the side characters and because of this, the duo's three stories read somewhat like a parenthesis in the series. Yves Chaland proposed a far more radical make-over. His very short stint on Spirou is an ironic re-staging of the strip as it was in the 40s. This last edition includes the original strips, and a text by Yann Le Pennetierillustrated by Chaland, that finishes the interrupted story. It was the team of Tome writing and Janry art which was to find lasting success with Spirou, both in terms of sales and critical appeal. Their position as the official Spirou authors made them the flagship team to a whole new school of young, Spirou & Fantasio: Spirou & Fantasio in Moscow v. 6 artists, such as Didier ConradBernard Hislaire or Frank Le Gallwho had illustrious careers of their own. This idea was later developed into a spin-off series, Le Petit Spirou "Young Spirou"which details the antics of the character as an elementary school boy. A lot of the gags center around the character's interest in the opposite sex. It is generally acknowledged, however, that the Petit Spirou doesn't have very much in common, psychologically speaking, with the adult character. This sudden shift into a darker tone shocked many readers, although its seeds were apparent in previous Spirou albums and in other series by the same authors SodaBerceuse assassine. While many considered the change in tone to be courageous and laudable, there was some concern that Spirou lost much of its point when presented as a "realistic" character. The latter kept close to the spirit of Franquin 's graphical style, while bringing Spirou & Fantasio: Spirou & Fantasio in Moscow v. 6 own touch of manga -inspired modernism. Morvan and Munuera's Spirou is partly remarkable in that it uses background elements Spirou & Fantasio: Spirou & Fantasio in Moscow v. 6 secondary characters from the whole history of the Spirou & Fantasio: Spirou & Fantasio in Moscow v. 6, and not just from Franquin's period. Spirou and Fantasio uncover the story of two children with telekinetic powers similarly to the manga Akira that are forced to construct an edo and meiji period theme park. This story tells Spirou's adolescence as a groom in a 5 star Tokyo hotel. Due to a significant decline in sales, Dupuis decided to cease Morvan and Munuera work in Spirou in January In Januaryit was announced in Spirou magazine that Morvan and Munuera would be succeeded by Fabien Vehlmann and Yoannwho had together created the first volume of Une aventure de Spirou et Fantasio par Their first album in the regular series was announced for October[12] but was later pushed back to September 3, and is named Alerte aux zorkons. InDupuis launched a second series of one-off volumes by various authors, under the name Une aventure de Spirou et Fantasio par It has subsequently been renamed "Le Spirou de The third, Le tombeau des Champignacby Yann and Fabrice Tarrinis a slightly modernized homage to Franquin's classic period. The fifth, Le groom vert-de-gris by Yann and Olivier Schwartzis based on one of Yann's old scripts from the 80's originally intended to have been drawn by Chaland, while the editor rejected it. Yann picked up the artist Schwartz, working in a similar style, to complete the story. The story takes place among the resistance movement in the Nazi-occupied Belgium. Unlike traditional Spirou stories, but similar to other works by Yann, the story features rather much dark humour and political satire. It was released once again to some acclaim but also attracted controversy for its cavalier approach to sensitive issues.
