Les Aventures de Spirou et Fantasio #57

Volume 57 of Les Aventures de Spirou et Fantasio arrives in 2024 with "La mémoire du futur," brought to life by writers Sophie Guerrive and Benjamin Abitan alongside artist Olivier Schwartz. The cover, rendered by Schwartz on that signature sunny yellow background, centers on a giant transparent Spirou figure with a miniature Spirou seated inside the chest cavity, while Fantasio appears in the background alongside Brussels' unmistakable Atomium and a figure in red carrying what looks like a fire extinguisher — with Spip the squirrel keeping watch nearby. It's a playful, imaginative composition that perfectly captures the series' spirit of adventure and whimsy, making this a fine addition to the long-running Dupuis series.
