Topic: Zantafio


  
  Zantafio at AllExperts
Zantafio is a recurring antagonist in the Spirou et Fantasio comic strip.
Zantafio bears a strong resemblance to the Fantasio character of that series, because he is his cousin.
After Fournier left the series, Zantafio disappeared for a long time as well: the new creative team of Nic Broca and Raoul Cauvin created new villains for their short run and their successors Philippe Tome and Janry started out their run with newly created villains well.

 Comic creator: André Franquin
He began making longer stories, starting with 'Il y a un Sorcier à Champignac' in 1950-51, and introduced a great variety of new side-characters to the strip.
He created the little town of Champignac and its inhabitants, Fantasio's evil cousin Zantafio and, most notably, a long-tailed animal called 'Marsupilami'.
The enlargement of the Spirou universe and the very humorous and well-structured stories made Franquin, in the minds of many people, the ultimate 'Spirou et Fantasio' artist.

The 'Spirou' comic reached it's height when André Franquin took it over from the previous artist Jijé (what is it with french/belgian cartoonists using pseudonyms?).
Franquin surrounded the main characters Spirou and Fantasio with a huge cast of characters such as the friendly scientist the Count of Champignac, Fantasio's evil cousin Zantafio and last but not least The Marsupilami; a wonderful character that was butchered by 'Disney'.
Franquin also had help from various authors and the one he co-operated the best with was Greg.
