Following in the footsteps of his august predecessors, with Jijé and Franquin in his sights, Jean-Claude Fournier imagines a new visual for the 128th hardcover album of the journal Spirou. A strange statue (an ancient deity from the southern hemisphere, perhaps?), the tropical humidity. Danger lurks. Spirou signals us: "Shh! Not a sound!" The collection will be published by Dupuis in March 1973.
