The story takes place among the resistance movement in the Nazi-occupied Belgium. Unlike traditional Spirou stories, but similar to other works by Yann, the story features rather much dark humour and political satire. It was released once again to some acclaim but also attracted controversy for its cavalier approach to sensitive issues. The sixth album, , authored by Lewis Trondheim and Fabrice Parme, was released on April 16, 2010. Characters Main and recurring Spirou et Fantasio characters: Spirou – the main character. An investigative reporter with a strong sense of justice. Fantasio – Spirou's best friend and co-adventurer, a reporter with a hot temper. Spip – Spirou's grouchy pet squirrel. The Marsupilami – a very unusual creature captured in a South American jungle by Spirou and Fantasio. Marsupilami is the name of the species, and the creature never acquired an individual name. Often referred to as "the little animal" even though it can terrorise anything and anyone. Count of Champignac – Spirou and Fantasio's eccentric scientist friend. The Mayor of Champignac – petty, pompous, ineffectual and two-faced, he is mostly memorable for his trademark speeches in which he piles up mixed metaphors sky-high. Seccotine – their fellow reporter, a friend and rival at the same time. Gets on Fantasio's nerves, but a priceless ally. Gaston Lagaffe – the main source of disaster and gags at the magazine offices. While he is the hero of his own series, he makes a few guest appearances in stories. Ororéa – another brave female reporter, of Polynesian descent. Itoh Kata – a Japanese scientist and magician. Zorglub – a mad scientist as well as a former colleague of the Count of Champignac from university. Originally a foe upon his first appearance, he boasts that he could take over the world, but really wants to be recognised as the greatest scientist of all time. He is later rehabilitated and becomes a friend of the protagonists. However, his ego is never shot down as more recent albums show. Enemies Zantafio – Fantasio's evil cousin. John Helena (the moray) – a brutal maritime criminal. Don Vito "Lucky" Cortizone – New York mafia boss, father of a dangerous woman called Luna. Cyanure, a gynoid.
