Jeannette Pointu is a Belgian comic book series created by Marc Wasterlain, starring the eponymous character. [1] The series appeared in the comic magazine Spirou from 1982 to 2005. [2]
Jeannette is curious and stubborn. Two qualities that serve her well in her job, as she is a photographer and follows the discovery of ancient treasures and scientific developments for her newspaper. [3]
An adventurer who remains feminine in all situations, Jeannette seeks to denounce injustice and misery around the world. She often gets into places where she shouldn't, which gets her into trouble and leads to one twist after another. [4]
All albums were written and drawn by Marc Wasterlain. Dupuis published the first twenty albums in French and the first nineteen in Dutch, under the name Sarah Spits. [5]
After that, Mosquito continued the series in French, while Arcadia issued the next two collating albums in Dutch. So far, there were no English translations.

Yoko Tsuno is a comics album series created by the Belgian writer Roger Leloup published by Dupuis in Spirou magazine since its debut in 1970. Through thirty volumes, the series tell the adventures of Yoko Tsuno, a female electrical engineer of Japanese origin surrounded by her close friends, Vic Video and Pol Pitron. Their adventures bring them to, among other places, Belgium (Bruges), Germany, Scotland, Japan, Hong Kong, Indonesia and also into outer space. The stories are heavily technology driven, with concepts like robot dragons, suspended animation, time travel, and even an alien species called the Vineans. Despite the often exotic settings and science-fiction plot lines, the stories generally remain realistic on the personal level between the characters and friendship, love and spirituality are some of the key themes of the series. The art is drawn in Ligne claire style, although having originally started out in the Marcinelle style. When depicting real-world settings, Leloup aspires to be as true to reality as possible, with places like Burg Katz or Rothenburg ob der Tauber depicted with almost photographic skill.
