The Marsupilami is irresistible! For decades, the hero created by Franquin has never stopped winning over new generations of fans. And in 2023, it even invites itself into children’s menus at Quick!
It was in 1952 that the Marsupilami appeared for the first time in the album “Spirou and the Heirs”. He is then only a secondary character, in the shadow of Spirou and Fantasio. However, from its first steps, the Marsupilami marks the spirits. An imaginary animal in which we find features of the kangaroo, the koala but also the cheetah and the monkey, the Marsupilami lives in the virgin forest of Palombia surrounded by his partner and their three children. Adorable creatures called Bibi, Bobo and Bibu. Funny and whimsical, the Marsupilami is endearing for young and old.

The Marsupilami, a furry superhero
The Marsupilami is adorable, with its large, expressive eyes and mottled yellow coat. But his secret asset is…his tail. A tail that allows him to protect his own, to swing, to jump, and is an inexhaustible source of funny or endearing situations. Because the Marsupilami has a big heart and never leaves a friend in a difficult situation, even if he has to fight a fierce battle! Despite its limited language, “houba houba”, “houba houba hop” and “habou” are its favorite onomatopoeia, the Marsupilami hits the mark. A real superhero!

From secondary character to hero of his own albums
After playing second fiddle to Spirou and Fantasio, the Marsupilami has become the hero of his own albums. It was in 1987 that the series was initiated, still under the aegis of Franquin who worked with Greg on the script and Batem on the drawing. The heroes are then a family of wild and mischievous marsupilamis to whom a thousand and one adventures happen. Dozens of albums will follow, with new releases every year! The hero created by Franquin also had the honors of the big screen in 2012 with the film adaptation imagined by Alain Chabat. “On the trail of Marsupilami”, with Jamel Debbouze, which met with great success!
