Spirou + Fantasio #50

Volume 60 of Spirou et Fantasio brings the beloved Belgian duo face-to-face with their arch-nemesis the Count of Champignac's sinister counterpart — actually, front and center on this vivid red cover stands the villainous Zantafio, impeccably dressed and radiating menace, while Spirou and Fantasio in spacesuits (with Spip the squirrel in tow) face off against him beneath a looming planetary body. Titled Die dunkle Seite des Z ("The Dark Side of the Z"), this 2012 Carlsen Comics German edition promises a cosmic confrontation with one of the series' most charismatic antagonists.
