The Palombian jungle is a cornucopia of strange and mysterious animal and vegetal species. Among those, a butterfly whose female has never been captured is the object of the ambitions of many scientists – and competition causes conflicts. A situation that the Marsupilami, who hates having his nap interrupted, finds positively unacceptable … although the opportunities to play with this new treetop research lab that’s suddenly appeared might make up for the inconvenience!

In Palombia, the president is throwing a lavish completion ceremony for a colossal project: a dam across the mighty river Huaytoonarro. An event that couldn’t leave the Marsupilami more indifferent, for he has other piranhas to fry: Mrs Marsupilami has disappeared. Our friend’s nose tells him that it was the doing of Bring M. Backalive, the famous hunter, and he rushes after the kidnapper, soon followed by Sarah and Bip … and then the situation becomes even more complicated!

Welcome to the offices of Spirou Magazine. Everyone here is hard at work to keep the magazine ticking, from reporters to secretaries, including editor Fantasio and even, occasionally, Spirou himself. Everyone? Well, not quite... There’s that office boy, Gomer. No one’s entirely sure what his job description is, or how he got hired. One thing is certain, though: he’s a walking disaster zone! From work-shirking scheme to disastrous invention, enter the hilarious world of the most famous laya...

Noah, Donald and Solorio, having rescued the rest of the children kidnapped by the ruthless gold prospectors of the Palombian rainforest, have escaped up the Boavista River, despite the rumours of terrible danger in that region. One evening, frightened by, yet drawn towards, demented laughter in the distance, they discover a lost temple, and at its top, a mysterious light. Worried about them, the Marsupilami soon joins them again – and not a moment too soon …

In Chiquito, capital of Palombia, there are nasty rumours flying of numerous orphans and poor kids going missing. And indeed, one evening, the son of a rich family is kidnapped along with a handful of street urchins after he sneaked out of school. The children are soon put to work in a clandestine gold mining camp. But the illegal prospectors are horrible polluters, and that’s already brought them into a very angry Marsupilami’s sights …

Spirou and Fantasio, during a daring night investigation, encounter a wounded man who is running from mysterious men. He claims they bombed an automobile factory to steal the plans of a highly advanced prototype, and that he took half of the plans and ran. Having sworn to take the documents back to their owner – who has the other half – the two adventurers are soon on their way to Africa. But of course, the bandits are in hot pursuit…

Deep inside the Palombian jungle, a rickety old boat sails up a sluggish river. On board is one of the world’s most famous hunters, and he’s vowed to be the first to capture a Marsupilami. But that’s no easy prey. The long-tailed creature is smart – much smarter than any human believes. And an alliance with the local natives isn’t going to be much help: they hate the Marsupilami who keeps outwitting them, and they’re desperate to find out what he tastes like…

Arriving back at Champignac after their resounding victory over Zorglub and his Zorglmen – poor souls enslaved by a terrible will-negating wave – Spirou, Fantasio and the count discover the entire village paralysed! Another potential use of the zorglwave, and a sign that Zorglub’s remorse and his promise to free all of his men may not have been entirely sincere. Discovering the truth will take time, though, and send our friends on a trip far from home…

After the Marsupilami causes a series of disasters, Spirou and Fantasio finally resolve to bring the strange animal back to its birth place, Palombia. Unfortunately, it’s a nation in turmoil they find upon their arrival. The military is all-powerful, rumours of impending war are growing and a ruthless tyrant has seized power. To counter the dictator’s plans, the two adventurers’ only weapon is the Count of Champignac’s latest outrageous invention: a mushroom extract that makes metals go so...

Nothing is ever simple with Gomer. Between his deplorable sense of timing, his absent-mindedness and his never-ending quest for new ways to avoid work, he causes a lot of fuses to blow – those of his colleagues, De Mesmaeker and poor Prunelle, of course, but also the actual ones at the office. And that is not at all to Alistair Bacus’s taste – the accountant at Spirou Publishing …

Gomer, friend of animals – his mischievous domestic cat and gull, but also the residents of the local zoo who all eagerly await his visits. Gomer, the adventurous chef, with his … unusual dishes cooked always in the wrong places at the wrong time. Gomer, the office boy whose mere presence can spell doom for a contract … and let’s not forget Gomer the athlete! Whichever one is your favourite, in any case, they’re all hilarious!

In Chiquito, capital of Palombia, the old Marsupilami in the municipal zoo feels his end coming, and would like to die free, in the legendary Marsupilami graveyard. Warned by an escaped parrot, our Marsu sets off towards the city, along with Bip and Sarah, the two jungle orphans, to free his elder. There’s a problem, though: Chiquito is in the middle of a revolution against its latest dictator, Baby Prinz. And in Palombia, revolution is a national sport!
