Capturez un Marsupilami!, written and drawn by Franquin, is a comic album containing adventures and short gags of the Marsupilami.

[edit] Background

For the 50th anniversary of the character, Marsu Productions assembled this album, composed of the majority of Franquin's Marsupilami solo stories. Touchez pas aux rouges-gorges and La cage had been included in Spirou et Fantasio albums, but other stories were previously published in varied forms of Spirou context. This release also collects Franquin's two stories featuring the intrepid poacher Bring M. Backalive.

  • The album's title is a slight twist on the title of the final story, Capturer un Marsupilami (to capture, rather than Capture!).
  • This album was first published in Scandinavia in the 80s (known as Å fange Spiralis in Norway, Jag Marsupilami in Sweden, and Spirillen in Denmark).
