Spirou and Fantasio are two reporters and adventurers whose investigations regularly lead them into extraordinary situations. Accompanied by the squirrel Spip and later by the mysterious Marsupilami, they travel around the world, facing mad scientists, criminals, dictators, and secret organizations, while becoming involved with inventions as fascinating as they are dangerous. Blending humor, action, science fiction, and satire, their adventures rely as much on their friendship as on their curiosity and their determination to intervene whenever individuals or entire communities are threatened.
