Although he kept his red groom suit from his early days, Spirou is a true adventurer. Always accompanied by his friend Fantasio and Spip, his lucky squirrel, Spirou battles villains of all kinds across the globe. Thus, he battles the terrible scientist Zorglub and the evil pirate John Héléna, takes on the Italian mafia and Chinese triads in New York, and travels to Palombia to uncover the secret of a mythical creature: the Marsupilami.
