A Marsupilami born in captivity returns to the Palombian jungle … at an exciting time!

Off the coast of Palombia, a freighter is at anchor, immobilised by mysterious engine trouble. It is transporting the Zabaglione Circus and its main attraction: a black Marsupilami! When the animal escapes thanks to a kind clown, he finds himself in the middle of a jungle he has never known. And as if helping out this clumsy newcomer wasn’t enough for the local Marsupilami family, they also have to face the march of progress, as a highway is built through their home!

Key Points:

Created in 1952 in Spirou & Fantasio, the character is still extremely popular – 30 titles, more than 3,5 million of copies sold

Also adapted for the big screen in 2012 by Alain Chabat; one of the year’s biggest successes in France

André Franquin was as important and influential throughout his career as Hergé, moulding and training dozens of artists through his long years at Spirou magazine. Creator of the Marsupilami and of Gomer Goof, he was in charge of Spirou & Fantasio for 20 years. Extraordinary prolific author of the golden age of BD – 250 title – Greg is best known for creating the outrageous Achille Talon and the poetic Olivier Rameau. A Belgian artist and colourist, Batem was chosen by Franquin to illustrate the solo adventures of his favourite animal, the Marsupilami.
