Le Flagada

Born in the pages of the legendary Belgian anthology Spirou in 1969, Le Flagada is a Silver Age creation of two titans of Franco-Belgian comics — Yvan Delporte and André Franquin — a pedigree that alone makes this character worth seeking out. Published by Dupuis across a remarkable stretch of nearly three decades, Le Flagada kept lively company with the likes of Tif, Boule, and Inspecteur Ficshusset in the bustling world of Spirou's weekly adventures. The character even earned their own dedicated album, Le Flagada et les pépins de la pêche, a sure sign of a creation that resonated beyond a single appearance. For collectors with a passion for the rich heritage of European comics, any Franquin and Delporte collaboration is a genuine treasure worth tracking down.
