Spirou Exhibition @ Seed Factory

Comic strip heroes who can claim to have as many dads as Spirou are few and far between. If his first creator is undoubtedly Rob-Vel, there are many others who have contributed to this character throughout the years.

Spirou’s subsequent fame is due to Franquin, who himself took up the pencil from Jijé, and who was then followed by another fifteen devoted fathers who took care of the baby, but on a temporary basis. With the exception of Jijé, Jean-Claude Fournier, Yves Chaland, Frank Le Gall, and Emile Bravo, it is interesting to note that they are all male couples to create different Spirou albums (Nic and Cauvin, Tome and Janry, Morvan and Munera, Yoann and Vehlmann, Tarrin and Yann).

The expo

La Maison de l'Image is staying true to its tradition by offering an impertinent vision of Spirou, even if the homage paid to our national hero by the communications world could, in the end, be nothing but vibrant and enthusiastic. Never before seen documents will also be displayed.
