Renowned Franco-Belgian gag cartoonist Andre Franquin suffered from depression. With his late-career "Idees Noires" series of gags from the late 1970s and early 1980s, created mostly for the independent/underground comics magazine Fluide Glacial, Franquin harnessed his still-virtuoso graphic style to his increasingly morbid worldview. Fantagraphics is proud to present the complete "Idees Noires" collection under the title Franquin's Last Laugh.

The fabled Marsupilami has been stolen from the zoo! The Marsupilami, a mysterious animal that Spirou and Fantasio discovered in the jungle of Palombia, now resides in their local zoo. When he seems to drop dead suddenly, the reporters storm into the park demanding explanations. Much to everyone’s surprise, though, the body has disappeared—stolen! The two adventurers lose the thief after a night-time chase, but they will not abandon their friend, no matter where their loyalty may take them!

A trip to Africa turns into an unusual kind of safari for our reporter friends. 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…

Spirou and Fantasio flight against a military dictatorship! 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 soft…

Retour sur la carrière d’un grand maître 
Voici une réédition aussi inattendue que nécessaire, car l'ouvrage est mythique, connu de tous les amateurs mais introuvable depuis plus de trente ans ! On ne présente plus Franquin, auteur incontournable de la bande dessinée franco-belge célèbre pour ses séries mythiques telles que Spirou et Fantasio, Gaston, Modeste et Pompon ou Idées noires. Créateur de génie à qui l'on doit l'extraordinaire Marsupilami, il se laisse exceptionnellement aller à une suite d’entretiens intimes et intimistes durant l’année 1985. Les propos recueillis par Numa Sadoul durant ces quelques journées de discussions à bâtons rompus offrent à l'arrivée une meilleure compréhension de l’ensemble de son travail. Chacune de ses œuvres est décryptée et commentée sur plus de 400 pages agrémentées de nombreuses illustrations. On y parle aussi de liberté de penser, de tolérance et de non-conformisme... Bien sûr, il n’a pas été facile de convaincre cet homme discret et humble, au rire tonitruant, de se prêter à l’exercice de la confidence mais le résultat est à la hauteur du monument. Ce livre est un précieux témoignage, érudit, passionné et drôle, pour quiconque s’intéresse à Franquin.
