The legendary adventures of reporters Spirou and Fantasio, their squirrel Spip, and Franquin's Marsupilami - 75 years of the finest comics tradition! The 20th title of a series as fundamental as Tintin. Sometime after their adventures in Attack of the Zordolts, Spirou, Fantasio and the Count of Champignac have nearly finished repairing the damage done by Zorglub's ridiculous plans. Until that morning when they wake up in what appears to be their bedrooms, except... on the moon! The moon, yes, where Zorglub - again - has built a massive laboratory. Unfortunately, the cost of such a construction is colossal, and the somewhat-reformed evil mastermind had to find financial backers...
Fabien Vehlmann got into comics by flooding Spirou Magazine with proposed scripts until he was accepted. Since then he's proven his mettle with such hits as Alone, Green Manor, IAN, The Marquis of Anaon and a Spirou one-off, before becoming in 2009 the new official team for Dupuis' flagship series with Yoann. The latter is a French artist, with training from the Beaux-Arts school and the Centre for Comics Arts in Angoulme, and illustrated many series including Toto l'ornithorynque and Donjons Monsters.
