About The Book

The legendary adventures of reporters Spirou and Fantasio, their squirrel Spip, and Franquin’s Marsupilami - 75 years of the finest comics tradition! The 23rd title of a series as fundamental as Tintin.

Spirou, Fantasio, and the Count of Champignac have decided to enter a competition organised by a rich ship-owner: to design a method for human beings to safely dive to and work at a depth of 200 metres. While the Count’s genius is up to the task, increasingly serious acts of sabotage begin to endanger his prototypes – as well as the three friends’ lives. Who could have a reason to put a stop to their endeavour – and what is the competition’s real goal, anyway?

About The Author

Franquin

A Belgian cartoonist from the Golden Age of comics, 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. In his 20 years at the helm of Spirou and Fantasio, creator of their fantastical friend the Marsupilami, he was also the father of one of the most beloved anti-heroes of European comics, Gaston Lagaffe, as well as the delightfully dark and sarcastic Idées Noires. As a sign of his popularity, he received the very first Grand Prix de la ville d'Angoulême in 1974.
