150 Creators On Charlie Hebdo Benefit Issue Of Spirou
Long standing French family-friendly comics anthology Spirou is publishing a special Charlie Hebdo tribute issue this Friday. It's a strange shift in tone, as if The Simpsons were to promote Lost Girls.
Oh, they did.
The titular hero Spirou is the one who wears the Je Suis Charlie shirt, unveiled as Clark Kent might for Superman. It reveals a sense of righteous purpose from a character with is usually seen in far lighter fashion.
150 creators have contributed to this tribute issue. Editor Florence Mixhel recgnising the jarring tone told RTBF that "We are not Charlie Hebdo and we shall never be, but we share the desire for creative freedom."
