[edit] Synopsis

In The Gold Maker, The Count of Champignac reveals on television that he knows the location of a coveted book revealing the secrets of ancient alchemist Nicolas Flamel, which Spirou fears may send the wrong signal to the criminals of the world. Upon visiting Champignac they find Zorglub unconscious, and the Count abducted. When Zorglub comes to, he suspects having recognized Zantafio as one of the kidnappers.

The Clandestine Christmas is the story of little, very wealthy boy Henri who prefers to spend Christmas with his unlikely friend, the much older, unwealthy Jean Babtiste. The two move outdoors to find someone to share the affluence of cake they have, and by chance join Spirou and Fantasio in celebrating a special Christmas.

in The Japanese Mushroom, Spirou and Fantasio travel to Japan, and are introduced the Count's Japanese counterpart, Ito Kata, and new arch-villainous syndicate of global crime, "The Triangle". The story ends as a teaser for the following album, Du glucose pour Noémie.
