Un experimento fallido del Conde de Champignac destruye casi por completo todo el castillo. Cuando Spirou y Fantasio acuden a ayudar al Conde, que ha salido ileso del desastre, descubren sorprendidos una cripta oculta debajo del castillo. Qué otros misterios descubrirán nuestros protagonistas? Estamos ante la primera incursión de Yann, guionista de El botones de verde caqui y La mujer leopardo, en el universo de Spirou. En un claro homenaje a Franquin, Fabrice Tarrin opta por una estética antigua en esta história clásica llena de aventura, humor, elementos fantásticos e invenciones descabelladas.

But that's no easy prey. The long-tailed creature is smart – much smarter than any human believes. And an alliance with the local natives isn't going to be much help: they hate the Marsupilami who keeps outwitting them, and they're desperate to find out what he tastes like

Deep inside the Palombian jungle lays Monte Urticando, andancient, nigh inaccessible volcano where millennia old cactuses grow.

For the Marsupilamis, though, it's also the signal for a strange and cruel tradition: it's time for the young Marsus to learn how to fend for themselves, away from the protection of their parents. Will they learn to work together to survive?

The Palombian jungle is a cornucopia of strange and mysterious animal and vegetal species. Among those, a butterfly whose female has never been captured is the object of the ambitions of many scientists - and competition causes conflicts. A situation that the Marsupilami, who hates having his nap interrupted, finds positively unacceptable ... although the opportunities to play with this new treetop research lab that's suddenly appeared might make up for the inconvenience!
