"Capturez un Marsupilami!", written and drawn by Franquin, is a comic album containing adventures and short gags of the Marsupilami. Although not collected in one album until 2002, the contents are the earliest works of the original artist, from publications in "Risque Tout" and "Le Journal de Spirou", and therefore given the number 0 in the series of Marsupilami albums. The album's title was given by the title of the final story, "Capturer un Marsupilami", but was slighly different from the original title . This album was first published in Scandinavia in the 80s (known as "Å fange Spiralis" in Norway, "Jag Marsupilami" in Sweden, and "Spirillen" in Denmark).

Background

For the 50th anniversary of the character, Marsu Productions assembled this album, composed of the majority of Franquin's Marsupilami solo stories. "Touchez pas aux rouges-gorges" and "La cage" had been included in "Spirou et Fantasio" albums, but other stories were previously published in varied forms of "Spirou" context. This release also collects Franquin's two stories featuring the intrepid poacher Bring M. Backalive, and a story featuring the secondary "Spirou et Fantasio" character Le Petit Noël.
