After trying out several creative teams, it appears Spirou and Fantasio has settled in with Vehlmann writing and Yoann drawing, which is fine by me because I love Yoann's loose lively style. Fred Blanchard provides the designs for the cool vehicles and architecture.

Catastrophe: The Journal de Spirou is facing bankruptcy after a sensational trial! Fantasio, the editor, will not let his magazine die.
