The Adventures of Spirou and Fantasio is currently published in English by Cinebook. English Spirou albums have also been published by Euro Books India and by Fantasy Flight Publishing.
Spirou Reporter regularly posts various Spirou and Spirou-related comics and gags in English. These are unofficial, unauthorized fan translations made from scans of copies in other languages, so-called scanlations. Most are original to the site, but high-quality scanlations from other sources are also sometimes reposted, with attribution. Spirou Reporter only posts scanlations of stories that have not been published in English, and mainly ones that are unpublished, uncollected, out-of-print or otherwise difficult to find in some of the places where Spirou is popular.
This page lists the scanlation comics and gags that have been posted to Spirou Reporter. It does not include short snippets used to illustrate reviews and other articles. The list is split into three parts. First “regular” Spirou comics (including some related series), sorted by artist. Then comic jams and collaborative comics with many different contributors. Finally other comics, for things which aren’t exactly Spirou comics but hold interest nonetheless.
List last updated: 13. February, 2017.

Hello, I wanted to say thanks for translating these Spirou comics into English. As an American comic lover, its great to see these franco belgian works be more widely available to a global audience. I wanted to know if you or someone else have translated the Spirou: Hope Against All Odds (SPIROU l’espoir malgré tout) books by Emile Bravo. Only the first 2 issues are in English, so I was wondering where I can find the rest.
