by For Valentine’s Day earlier this week, writer Kid Toussaint (Magic 7) posted this image by his frequent collaborator Chris Evenhuis (Killing Time, Wynonna Earp) to Twitter and Facebook, from a one-shot that didn’t get picked up:
Toussaint writes in the comments: “Sometimes the publishers ask you for something unusual, that ultimately doesn’t go ahead… it was very good, though. […] They were very nice about it (these things happen), so no hard feelings. Just a shame, since we were having fun. […] Unusual attitude for Spirou, but it all made sense in the script. (Spoiler: It was a clone.)” The piece is inspired by the home video cover for the classic film noir Kiss Me Deadly (1955).
Thanks to Alexis Seny for the tip!

Hope you get that the “Clone thing” was a joke, refering to the “Machine qui rêve” Spirou album by Tome&Janry.
Nope, did not realize that! (Though it did strike me as an odd twist to copy.) Thanks for the clarification!
Not even Marvel liked the clones, in the end…
Nobody loves clones since Dolly the sheep, I’d say.
(Though I have to admit I love La machine qui rêve album).
