Résumé
Belgium, 1955. A mysterious animal is caught in the jungles of South America and transported to Europe on a cargo ship, where it ends up starving and half-dead on the outskirts of Brussels. François, a young boy with a fondness for taking in strays, finds it and brings it home to his mother and his menagerie—his best and only friends. As the son of a departed German soldier, François is the favorite target of every bully in school. Nobody can identify the strange creature with the voracious appetite and the stupendously long tail, and François figures his new pet is perfect for show-and-tell... But with a wild beast and a small classroom, things quickly get out of hand. Will this spell the end for François's new animal friend? The real story of the legendary Marsupilami!

Zidrou a longtemps été instituteur. Problème : il rêvait d'une école intelligente, qui aurait appris aux enfants à penser plutôt qu'à bachoter avant l'âge ; une école tournée vers ses élèves, qui aurait pris en compte la réalité de leurs vies, de leurs problèmes. Devant l'impossibilité de la tâche, il a pris ses responsabilités et décidé de devenir scénariste de bande dessinée ! Et les ennuis avec l'administration éducative, il les laisse désormais à son héros le plus populaire," L'élève Ducobu". Ce dernier n'étant pas bégueule, il partage volontiers la sensibilité et l'humour de son créateur avec Boule à Zéro, une petite fille luttant contre la leucémie dont elle est victime. Prolifique, Zidrou est également l'auteur des plus réalistes, mais non moins sensibles, "Le Montreur d'histoires", "Tourne-Disque", "Lydie", "Folies Bergères", "Les beaux étés", "Les 3 Fruits" ou encore "Les Promeneurs sous la Lune". On lui doit aussi, plus récemment, la reprise du classique autant qu'indémodable "Ric Hochet", ainsi que celles de "Chlorophylle" et de "Clifton". Son cerveau humide de Belge résistant vaillamment à la chaleur de l'Andalousie, sa terre d'élection, il trouve encore le temps d'écrire des chansons, des albums jeunesse et des scénarios pour le cinéma! Quel homme!

Frank was born in 1956 in Brussels. He studied the art of sculpture for three years at the Saint-Luc Institute in the Belgian capital, and published his first work in "Spirou" magazine in 1973, before starting in on an exotic adventure story called "Comme un animal en cage," with a script by Terence (Thierry Martens). He then created the character of "Broussaille" (Dupuis), who quickly became a comic book hero, starring in poetic and philosophical adventure stories such as "Les Baleines publiques" and "Les Sculpteurs de lumière." The series won a dozen awards, and in 1992 a whole set of school books was created for secondary education pupils in France featuring Broussaille, to liven up the natural sciences, literature, and arts classes. Between 1981 and 1986 Frank developed the character of "L'Elan" in mini-cartoons, and in 1989, teaming up with Franquin, Hausman, and Cabanes, he created and illustrated a book dedicated to cats, "Entre Chats" (Delcourt). In 1993 he began work on the "Matu" series for the Japanese publishing company Kodansha. Hired as a freelance artist by Warner Bros., he also developed characters for the animated film "Excalibur." Passionate about nature and painting, Frank composed the "Zoo" trilogy for the prestigious Aire Libre collection (Dupuis), together with scriptwriter Philippe Bonifay, which began in 1994 and was completed in 2007. His most recent work includes a fresh take on the classic "Marsupilami" series with the two-part graphic novel "The Beast," created alongside scriptwriter Zidrou (Dupuis/Europe Comics).
