Dear Reader, Fire and water, water and fire – this month, two drastically different comics for your enjoyment! Spirou, Fantasio, and the Marsupilami are back in a new adventure by legendary author and artist André Franquin: prepare to enter The Moray’s Lair! A scientific competition leads to multiple acts of sabotage, and Spirou will be hard-pressed to figure out who so desperately wants to put an end to the Count of Champignac’s foray into underwater exploration. It’s exciting, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s full of below-the-surface Marsupilami shenanigans! Meanwhile, our old friend Thorgal is in a much drier place, and things are not going well for him. His quest to save his son Aniel has failed, and the boy is now the reincarnation of an ancient sorcerer. Outside the city, a crusading army approaches.

But if anything goes wrong, he could lose control of that ancient magic and drown the world in flames … The stakes have never been higher, and betrayal waits in ambush – can Thorgal safely navigate these treacherous times? August with Cinebook: sail the seas of adventure! On Saturday 19 September, we will be at Kings Heath Comic Con in Birmingham, UK! Come and see us at the All-saints Centre in Kings Heath. We’ll have piles of our best comics for you to go home with – and of course, our usual, amazing festival deals!

Despite all his efforts, he wasn’t in time to save his son Aniel, and was forced to look on as sorcery transformed the young, mute boy into a teenager with terrible powers – the reincarnation of the Master of Red Magic. The Viking, convinced there is still a chance, is still not ready to give up … Read more Redbeard 3 Mami Wata Spirou & Fantasio 23 The Moray’s Lair Saturday September 19th, 2026: Cinebook will exhibit at Kings Heath Comic Con, All-saints Centre, 2 Vicarage Road, Kings Heath, Birmingham, UK Comic Bits Online – Terry Hooper-Scharf The Bank 3 – The Baron’s Accounts Scotland 1 – Episode 1
