Le cirque Zabaglione qui prépare sa tournée mexicaine, est bloqué sur le rafiot MS HELENE en panne au large des côtes qui bordent la forêt palombienne. L’attraction phare du cirque est le spectacle du dresseur Noé et de son marsupilami au pelage noir : Mars.
Profitant de cette halte, Noé s’évade avec Mars dans la forêt où ils sont séparés. Noé, blessé, sera recueilli par Bip et Sarah, deux enfants vivant dans jungle, alors que Mars fait l’apprentissage de la vie sauvage et se trouvera confronté à la famille marsupilami. Tous ces personnages seront vite confrontés avec le chantier de la route trans-palombienne qui avance au détriment de l’écologie de la forêt.
Tive de dar 5 estrelas porque foi este um dos livros que me fez apaixonar pelo universo dos Marsupilami.
Há amizade e amor. Há também proteção e orgulho. Há muitas coisas que podemos retirar deste livro se tomarmos atenção suficiente. Mas também é engraçado e, claro, fofinho!
Aconselho qualquer pessoa que goste de banda desenhada mas que nunca leu nada de Marsupilami a ler este porque vai ser um novo universo fantástico com que irão sonhar. Aconselho-o também a quem já leu outras histórias Marsupilami porque aqui vão conhecer um Marsupilami novo por quem se vão apaixonar de certeza, como me aconteceu!

[EN] I had to give this 5 stars because it was one of the comics that made me fell in love with Marsupilami.
There's friendship and love. There's also protection and pride. There are so many things that we can take out of this book If we only pay enough attention. But it's also funny, obviously, and cute!
I advise anyone who enjoys comics but have never read about Marsupilami to read this one because it's a brand new fantasy for you to dream about. I advise it to anyone who read other Marsupilami stories as well because here you'll meet a new Marsupilami and I'm sure you'll fall in love with him as I did!
It is very light-hearted and FUN. Great for the kids but also a goodread for all. The creatures are adorably weird and the people are vestfully made fun. There's also commentary about rainforest pilliging that is done very intelligently.
The animal and jungle art is all well rendered and wonderfully silly but his people are drawn sub-par for my sensibilities.
Vaikka sarja onkin Marsupilamin, enemmän tuo on sivustakatsojana, mitä ympäröivässä maailmassa tapahtuu. Nokkelan tökkiviä piikkejä oikeisiin suuntiin on saatu kirjoitettua mukaan, sympaattista huumoria ja sujuvaa kuvaa. Suomalainen tekstitys oli kyllä sitten vastapainona huono.
These books are proving a lot of fun, largely helped by Batem’s art style that gives a healthy nod to Franquin. The Marsupilami of note may be the titular character but the stories are very much set in the world surrounding him rather than focusing on him himself. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t get his turn in the spotlight, but, like in this case, the story is driven by a different character… Who just so happens to also be a Marsupilami.
Stranded off of the coast of Palombia a ship is at anchor as it attempts hasty repairs. On board is a live cargo of circus performers and animals, although one of them is strikingly similar to an animal we know, albeit with black rather than speckled fur. This Marsupilami is called Black Mars and he’s the performing partner of a clown who’s orchestrated this breakdown to give the pair of them the chance to make a break for the rainforest. But naturally things never go quite as they’re planned and before long the clown is injured and Mars is lost in unfamiliar territory. To compound matters, a major road is being driven through the heart of the rainforest, disturbing the wildlife and putting many in danger. Fortunately there is help at hand but not before two Marsulilami’s come to blows.
Packed full of gags with a visual dynamic that exhales humour, the story of Black Mars has plenty to smile about, from befuddled natives to unscrupulous corporate players, absurd animals and the amazing uses of piranha. You don’t even need to be reading, or have read, Spirou and Fantasio to enjoy it (although don’t deny yourself that pleasure). Lovingly made and excellently executed, and one for all ages too.
O Marsupilami é uma das mais geniais criações da BD, em qualquer latitude. Congeminado por André Franquin, em 1952, para a série Spirou, dela o retirou quando deixou de trabalhar nas aventuras do jovem groom belga. Franquin, autor também, e entre outros, do único e inimitável Gaston Lagaffe e da série de humor lúgubre Ideias Negras, avançou com uma série autónoma desta criatura magnífica, originária da selva da Palômbia, república sul-americana ficcional. O Marsupilami fez muita falta às histórias de Spirou e Fantásio, pois tornara-se numa importante personagem secundária, coadjuvante deste émulo de Tintin. A série independente tornou-se mais infantil, porventura assumidamente. Nesse aspecto, O Marsupilami Negro (Mars le Noir, 1989) é altamente recomendável para iniciar os mais novos num universo que nunca mais deixa sair quem lá alguma vez logrou entrar.
