Mortadel et Filémon

Francisco Ibáñez’s beloved Spanish comic series Mortadel et Filémon ran for eight issues from 1970 to 1974, published under the Mon Journal imprint. The series follows the slapstick misadventures of two bumbling secret agents, with Ibáñez serving as both writer and artist throughout its entire run. A cornerstone of European humor comics, it cemented Ibáñez’s reputation for chaotic, gag-a-minute storytelling that continues to delight readers.
