Les aventures de Spirou et Fantasio - La mauvaise tête

In this 2018 Dupuis one-shot, the long-running Spirou et Fantasio series takes a darkly comedic turn as Spirou faces an existential crisis, questioning his role as a perpetual hero. The story is driven by the distinctive, expressive art of Fabrice Parme, who both writes and illustrates this standalone adventure. While brief, La mauvaise tête stands out for its willingness to deconstruct the franchise's classic optimism, offering a mature, psychologically nuanced take on a beloved Belgian comics icon.
