Marsupilami #33

The beloved spotted creature takes center stage on this 2021 Dupuis album, framed dramatically by two enormous rocky hands forming a heart shape around a dazed, wide-eyed Marsupilami — stars circling its head and its famously long tail coiling beneath it, with flames flickering at the bottom. Batem's cover art gives the scene a wonderfully theatrical flair, balancing peril and charm in equal measure. Supermarsu marks the 33rd volume of Franquin's enduring series, and the image alone promises plenty of the anarchic energy that has made this spotted jungle creature so irresistible.
