'Une nouvelle aventure de Spirou & Fantasio' p.1 (ill. Stanislas & Trondheim; SR scanlation)

Scanlation Sunday: Stanislas

Many artists have wanted to make a Spirou one-shot. Dupuis has turned most of them down. One of the more prominent ones to give it a try is Stanislas (Victor Levallois, Les aventures d’Hergé), who has made two attempts with different collaborators. A page from each pitch has been leaked, presented here…

'Spirou & les fantômes' p.1 (ill. Stanislas & Le Gall; SR scanlation)Perhaps the publisher felt they’d have enough of Le Gall with his one-shot, Les marais du temps (“The Marshes of Time”)? Stanislas had another go, this time with a script by Trondheim:

Again no luck. Trondheim later got to make a one-shot along with Fabrice Parme, Panique en Atlantique (“Panic on the Atlantic”), but sadly we still haven’t got a full Spirou adventure by Stanislas, and little chance of ever seeing how these stories would have proceeded.

I grew up reading Spirou in Scandinavian translations. Now I'm learning French and trying to decode the originals.

  1. On a translator’s note, the famous ghost story writer Algernon Blackwood stands in for [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Flammarion]Camille Flammarion[/url], a French science fiction writer fascinated by spiritism, but less likely to be familiar to non-French readers.

    It should also be obvious that Professor Micos must have introduced the young Count Champignac to the field of [b]myco[/b]logy, the study of mushrooms and fungi, just as Professor Modus led Zorglub to his interest in electronic devices and his career as a mad scientist.

  2. That’s really interesting, I wonder if we’d ever get to see other potential one shot ideas,I saw the second page on indispirou at various stages of completion, I assumed it was a much older comic page that wasn’t finished.
