Der kleine Spirou

A long-running German-language series from Carlsen Comics, Der kleine Spirou (1996–present) offers a lighter, younger take on the classic Spirou et Fantasio universe, focusing on the mischievous childhood adventures of a young Spirou at a boarding school. Spanning 20 issues, the series is best known for the work of writer Tome and artist Janry, who originally created the concept. Its enduring popularity stems from its charming, gag-driven humor and the way it expands the beloved Spirou world by exploring its hero's formative years.
