  Spirou comic magazine
Spirou magazine is without a doubt one of the most important Belgian comics magazines, along with Tintin.
Fournier quit 'Spirou et Fantasio' in 1979 and after some stories by Yves Chaland and Nic Broca, Tome and Janry became the new authors of the title series.
Spirou changed its focus to just children in the early 1990s and the grown-up comics were dropped.

Then Jiji drew Spirou's adventures for a while, and Rob-Vel took over again when he came back to Paris in 1941 after he had been wounded (he couldn't fight anymore so he was freed from his enlistment).
Now the rational Spirou had got both an irrational and edgy companion who would be a part of the mystery solving and at the same time bring humour and excitement to the series.
Spirou was in Fournier's hands until 1979 and during this time also Fournier added a new character, the Japanese scientist and magician Itoh Kata.

Spirou, a lift attendant at the Moustique Hotel, was originally created by the artist Rob-Vel in the late thirties, as a direct competitor to Hergé's Tintin.
The SPIROU magazine became a huge success thanks to the work of another comic legend, Jijé, but it was not until Franquin's arrival at the title that it really reached its full potential.
