Désiré Mégot

A product of the early 1990s Franco-Belgian comics scene, Désiré Mégot made their debut in the very first issue of Le Petit Spirou in 1990, courtesy of the beloved creative duo Tome and Janry. This Pocket publication dropped readers into a world shared with the likes of Le Petit Spirou himself, Suzette, Vertignasse, Langélusse, and Madame Spirou — a lively cast that signals the warm, humor-driven spirit of the series. Though Désiré's appearances in the catalog are few, being present from the very launch of such a fondly remembered series makes them a genuine piece of early-modern Franco-Belgian comics history worth a closer look for any enthusiast of the form.
